DONUT stands for:
DISABILITY OPTIONS NURTURING UNIQUE TALENT
We are a creative studio and community space where people with NDIS funding can grow personally, socially, and artistically.
We specialise in nurturing visual arts, music, recording, and creative expression, supporting individuals to discover skills, build confidence, and shape their own artistic journey. Located in Bendigo, we welcome members from across 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.
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.
Every initiative has its roots, and for DONUT Studios, those roots are deeply embedded in the principles of CBChange.
Understanding this connection helps shine a light on the passion and purpose that drive every aspect of DONUT Studios.
DONUT Studios is the proud emblem of CBChange, a registered NDIS provider dedicated to ushering in change.
CBChange envisions a world where value and respect are inherent rights, not privileges; where every individual is empowered with opportunities and choices to lead a life filled with purpose and joy.
It's within this vision that DONUT Studios was born, aiming to become a beacon of inclusivity and creativity for artists with disabilities.
As you delve deeper into the story of DONUT Studios on our site, remember it's rooted in the ethos of CBChange: a commitment to a more inclusive, equitable world.
DONUT Studios' Creative Facilitators come from diverse backgrounds, including education, art, music, wellness, and more, providing a rich and varied skill set to support the creative endeavors of their members.
