FREE online arts workshops are set to return in February and March, offering creatives the chance to strengthen their business practices.<\/p>\n
After running in late August ArtsACTION will be available for a second round of classes aimed at teaching creatives online presentation, and marketing techniques.<\/p>\n
Developed by non-profit organisation Jumpleads, director Karen Corr said the program\u2019s return offers an opportunity for people who missed out the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of commitment to do these six weeks round of workshops, and with COVID happening, not everyone got to be a part of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than just a top-down class of just an expert talking to you, we make it very interactive. We get them to think about questions where relevant to themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had great participation from Ballarat\u2019s creatives. We had a number of people, some of whom even went on to form groups together.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program aims to foster a supportive community that encourages open-mindedness and new approaches to creative approaches.<\/p>\n
ArtsACTION is open for creatives of any skill level, and Ms Corr said course serves as a call to action to get artists to act seriously on the business side of their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone can go online and research what they can do, but not many people get the chance to actually get that motivation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the challenges that we hear from creatives is that it\u2019s too overwhelming, or they don\u2019t know where to start.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis program inspires them to get on track and motivated. If they don\u2019t have that framework to begin, then it\u2019s much harder to actually do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hour and a half workshop will run each Wednesday at 10.30am via Zoom until February to 30 March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
