DONUT Studios is a community-focused disability support program driven to providing a person-centred, holistic approach to assisting individuals with NDIS funding to personally, socially, and creatively grow and flourish. DONUT Studios is located in Bendigo and services the community of Central Victoria.
At DONUT Studios, we're not just about art and music; we're about fostering a vibrant community where creativity, friendship, and connection come together.
Beyond the brushes and instruments, we believe in the power of social interaction and the magic of shared moments.
Many of our members attend not just to create, but to hang out, chat, and form lasting bonds with like-minded individuals. DONUT Studios is a place where friendships blossom, laughter is shared, and the sense of belonging runs deep. And here's the best part: you don't have to be an artist or a musician to attend.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of your creative background or experience. Join us in celebrating not just the artistry but the beautiful friendships that make our studio a welcoming and vibrant community.
