Create’s National Networking Event is an annual encounter of exchange and learning, providing a vital space for connection and discussion among artists, activists, researchers and other collaborators operating in the spaces between collaborative, socially engaged arts, community development, pedagogy, and politics. This event is a unique opportunity for those working in the field to meet with like-minded peers, to share and network, and learn from each other as well as leading voices in the field.
Each year we seek to engage with themes that are relevant to those working in socially engaged arts practice, providing artists, organisations and civil society with challenging and stimulating conversations that can inform future collaborations.
The title of this year’s event is Collaborative Futures. Save the Date for an immersive event filled with provocations, networking opportunities, workshops and learning from local and international guest speakers.
The Networking Event will examine how we can look to our history to gain lessons for the future of collaborative, socially engaged art practice, building hope through togetherness, community as activism and building movements through collaboration.
Tickets will be available for booking in the coming weeks – keep an eye on our website and social media pages!
