Exploring how the life of a community can be enhanced by drawing more effectively on the power of the arts.
At Effie Baker Foundation, we work in communities and local settings across Australia, to develop capacity for the use of the arts to build unity, foster community life, and respond to social challenges.The Effie Baker Foundation was established in 2025, and is an entirely philanthropically funded, Baha’i inspired organisation. Baha’is believe that arts are ‘an important means of generating joy, strengthening bonds of unity, disseminating knowledge, and consolidating understanding’.If your community, neighbourhood or local area is interested in learning more, please get in touch to discuss.
