It’s a week for seeing the big picture and the small.
Just about any creative endeavour can evoke workshop aspirations for eager participants. When it comes to ‘creative business workshops’ though, this can seem a less inspiring option. Is it the dreaded ‘b’ word? How engaging could a marketing strategy or taxation workshop be? Surprisingly enough, in the right hands, very – and enormous value to boot. Monica Davidson is the creative industries expert who will facilitate four creative business workshops in Maitland and Newcastle next week. Reservations: admin@octapod.org
Heard about the recent devastating bushfires at Tathra? Newcastle artist Ann Caddey has just raised close to $2000 for the Tathra Bushfire Appeal donating a number of prints of her paintings of Mumbulla Creek, one of Tathra’s most magical sites, and a favourite childhood spot of Ann’s. A grassroots ‘small picture’ scheme that adds to the bigger picture.
