Details
Facilitated by TAC’s Visual Arts Program Manger Ann McMahon, this monthly networking opportunity for artists is designed to be informative but casual, offering insight, inspiration and fun for local artists. The program aims to create a space where likeminded people can find out and share information about the local arts sector and the creative practises of other artists.
Through a program of guest speakers, the info sessions will cover topics of interest from current opportunities, tips on writing grant applications, the ins and outs of residencies to marketing and collaborative project development. There will also be time to just hang out, enjoy the view over the lake and have coffee. If you have an idea for the program or any question, please contact Ann McMahon.
