About the event
Through peer to peer conversation artists, cultural producers and health professionals will gain support to be the best they can be. From skills sharing to connecting and building a community of practice, GC Creative Conversations is structured to help you advance projects, finding solutions to challenges and reducing isolation.
This is an opportunity to share practice and wellbeing including bringing a plate of some tasty delights.
Coffee and a range of tea will be available.
Questions that artists might bring to session could be:
- experience, skills and training- what works and what doesn’t?
- 3 opportunities and/or challenges of working on Gold Coast
- how to develop an idea that I’m stuck on
- how to collaborate with others who have had similar experiences or themes in your work (i.e a particular illness)
- how can we work together
