Details
Do you have an idea for a creative project? This new initiative from the Tuggeranong Arts Centre provides seed funding for a collaborative work – from pop-up performances to art workshops, from support for recording to painting murals – nothing is off the table.
The Creative Kitchen audience has the power! The successful project is chosen by the audience on the night. The winning pitch is awarded $1000 to put their idea into fruition. This is a fun networking opportunity with any donations made on the night also given to the winner.
For the Creatives
Pitch your collaborative project! Bring your 5-minute project pitch. Sell the Creative Kitchen audience on your idea and answer questions over a glass of wine. If you receive the most votes you take home $1000 (and any donations on the night)
- Step 1: Register online. Up to 5 projects will be chosen by TAC staff to go through to the live pitch session.
- Step 2: Come to Creative Kitchen Thursday 19 June 6pm and bring your 5-minute project pitch. You can bring props/costumes but no PowerPoint presentations! Sell the audience on your idea and answer questions over a glass of wine.
