The Naughty Noodle Fun Haus has secured $10,000 to purchase photocopying equipment to help the group to continue hosting their art and cultural events across the Coast.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch, said the grant was from their Community Building Partnership submission.
“Naughty Noodle Fun Haus have created an outlet never seen before here on the Central Coast and they’re also the masterminds behind the Coastal Twist, a festival that promotes tourism in our backyard,” Tesch said.
“I am beyond pleased with the allocation of this funding and I know it will be put to great use in our community.”
Creative director and co-founder of the Naughty Noodle Fun Haus, Glitta Supernova, expressed her excitement about the purchase of new printing equipment.
“It’s a game changer for our organisation because it makes us more independent and we can print our own materials which is so amazing because a lot of our stuff goes out on the streets to get the word out,” Supernova said.
This year’s Coastal Twist LGBTIQA+ Arts and Culture Festival was scheduled to go ahead in January but was postponed until late September due COVID-19 restrictions.
Over the six-day festival, the Coast will host talented artists and creators to celebrate diversity and inclusion through performances and events.
Tesch said she cannot wait to see the funding in use.
“I look forward to seeing this new printer being used to capacity and the flyers being spread far and wide throughout our community,” she said.
“The Coastal Twist Festival provides so much life to the Peninsula and money to our local businesses, a power that cannot be underestimated especially after the last couple of really difficult years.”
