Creative Spotlight Events

The Brisbane creative scene has come of age and we are revelling in the variety of events and workshops now on offer to nurture creative business.

Over the coming weeks, Queensland Arts Council, Creative Generator SEQ and Brisbane City Council will present a series of ‘Creative Spotlight’ networking events across Brisbane on Wednesday 26th October and Wednesday 2nd November 2011. 

At both events, the spotlight will be shone on 4 artists and arts organisations who are leaders in their field and give them an opportunity to give those attending some insight into their creative journey. What was there path? How did they turn a creative concept into a reality? Did they get a lucky break or was it just hard work and a passion for their artform? You will also have the opportunity to ask each speaker questions during a special Q&A following each presentation.
The evenings will also be an opportunity to network with artists and arts workers from across the city.
Events will be webcast via www.flyingarts.org.au/ChannelV3
