Join the School of Arts $100 Club
The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial School of Arts celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2026.
To mark this important milestone, School of Arts, Tenterfield Incorporated has launched the School of Arts $100 Club, a community fundraising initiative designed to help activate the Museum and Theatre and reinvigorate the School of Arts as Tenterfield’s arts, culture and heritage hub.
By joining the Club with a $100 donation, you become part of a collective effort to support the future of this nationally significant heritage venue.
Anniversary Prize Draw
Once the goal of 150 Club members has been reached, donors will be included in a draw for:

The accommodation prize is valued at approximately $1,100
Our Goal: 150 Club Members
Our ambition is to encourage:
150 individuals
