HOW WE USE OUR INCOME
As a not-for-profit organisation, any surplus income we have after our operating costs are taken care of is reinvested into supporting artists and growing our creative community.
We are proud to offer a very low commission model in our gallery and affordable rental prices in the Hall to support our arts and local community. Income from gallery commissions and hall rentals helps pay for keeping Thistle Hall’s doors open. We assess surplus income at the end of each financial year and available funds go towards providing opportunities, resources, and programs that help artists thrive and contribute to the cultural life of our community.
