ArtheartHQ is the philanthropic branch of Arthead which donates time, money, experience, skills and talent to help inspire and create a better world. ArtheartHQ is a tribute to Bob Millis’s legacy of community contribution and to the ‘rules’ he lived by.
“Be kind and remember that great love and great achievements involve great risks. It is important to be at your best, displaying your inner heart in every action and word. In order for your soul to thrive, you must strive to be the best person you can be, showing your true self in every situation. It is in giving that you receive. To thrive it is essential for your soul to be fully expressed in all aspects of your life”
Bob Millis

ArtheartHQ is a philosophy for living, shaped by the guiding principles of kindness, compassion, creativity and community. These values were central to the life and work of Bob Millis and continue to underpin the spirit and direction of Arthead today.
For Bob, art was never just about making objects — it was about connection, generosity of spirit and encouraging others to find their creative voice.
ArtheartHQ is about following your heart and creating spaces where people feel supported to explore creativity, purpose and community.
The first ArtheartHQ “Talk from the Heart” event featured Chris Nunn, a high-performance athletics coach and former Australian Paralympics coach, whose work aligns closely with this philosophy.
