"Carclew played such a huge role in my journey, they gave me opportunities to grow and learn, backing me when I was still finding my sound. Having that support early on made all the difference—it’s shaped who I am as an artist today." - Elsy Wameyo, singer-songwriter.

Elsy's story underscores the profound impact that community initiatives and targeted funding can have on emerging artists. 

Music is synonymous with youth, offering exciting identity, social and educational value. 

Carclew is building on a formidable legacy of past music programs for young people, including Off the Couch, Artery Party, Blak Night and more. All donations will be doubled through Creative Austalia's Plus 1, amplifying the impact of every dollar raised. 

Your generous donation will help us buy equipment and engage with young people through programs at the house, schools and in communities across South Australia. Jump on board as we rock with young creatives sculpting our future sound.

"Want to join our bandwagon?"

So how can you help?

To achieve our matched funding target of $35,000, we are looking for supporters who are willing to make a donation of $1,000.

Your generous donation will support our music programs to have a big impact.
