With Sydney just scoring in the top five cities in the world for culture voted by the people in a Time Out global ranking, now’s a better time than ever for a jam-packed and inspiring three-day event for all creatives to come to town.
The Creative Toolbox Symposium will be held in late June across Marrickville. It’s a chance for artists to network with their creative community and access super-handy and inspiring resources under a flexible structure. The best bit? All the speakers are practising creatives and arts workers who are going to share their hard-won knowledge on a successful arts career.
All the events are either free or heavily subsidised. On Saturday and Monday, panels and creative experiences are free, and intimate workshops are $5. Meanwhile on Sunday June 29, a tenner will give you access to a whole day’s worth of panels, starting with a keynote address from industry leader Wesley Enoch AM. Stay for the catered networking event with a visual and performative takeover of Marrickville Town Hall by the joyful artist HOSSEI.
Weave with artists from Boomalli Aboriginal Artist Co-operative, have a laugh with Queer PowerPoint and get insights into the public art scene with First Nations curator Kyra Kum-Sing – just a handful of the 25 plus sessions and interactive events across the weekend.
The Creative Toolbox symposium has been created by Inner West Council to support their creative and performing arts industry locals and is running from June 28 to 30 at Marrickville Library and Marrickville Town Hall. It’s anticipated that the event is going to be in high demand and bookings are essential, so make sure you secure your spot here.
