Nillumbik is one of six Melbourne councils set to launch the ArtsACTION program this month, providing free career support to our creative community.
ArtsACTION will deliver professional development for artists and creatives to activate career pathways, broaden networks, and build market reach.
The online program will run until June and is facilitated by Pop Up Art, a division of not-for-profit Jumpleads NFP. The program offers a six-part email resource pack, Zoom workshops, and access to a growing supportive network. The workshops cover topics such as being market ready, working together effectively and digital communities.
ArtsACTION is free of charge for anyone living or working in the municpalities of Nillumbik, Brimbank, Cardinia, Hume, Melton, and Yarra Ranges.
"We're committed to supporting our creative practitioners with programs that enhance skills for growth, including professional development programs for artists such as ArtsACTION," Nillumbik Mayor Ben Ramcharan said.
"We hope to see a wide range of artists and creatives take up this opportunity to develop essential marketing and collaboration skills, and to connect and share their work with other creatives from our partner Council regions."
Emerging or professional visual artists, performers, writers, musicians, arts workers, and people involved in community arts or creative industries, are invited to participate. It's particularly relevant for creatives looking to grow their career, build their business, step up their organisation, or connect with other creatives across Victoria and beyond. Everyone is welcome.
ArtsACTION is free to participate and will be delivered entirely online from January to June 2023.
