Build your Community
The heart and soul of every community is the art. Local, regional and National governments are waking up to the power and impact of the arts. They are noticing that developing and encouraging the creative industries will have the most impact for viability, livability and growth.
Over the years, we have consulted with governements, developed seminars and workshops and held World Café dialogue forums to help communities harness the creative capital of their town, city, state and nation.

Capacity building for the creative industries in your region comes down to up-skilling creative entrepreneures and artists with the business skills, marketing know-how and the confidence they need to build successful sustainable businesses.

It has cemented in my mind how important it is to me to be successful in my business.
I’m going to stop apologising for being an artist.
The workshop was given by actual arts practitioners, not academics, and that made it both relevant and delivered in a way we could genuinely relate to.
