A free artist development program is being offered to emerging creatives in Melton.

ArtsAction is being delivered by Pop Up Art with the support of Melton council and five other municipalities to provide professional development in art industry skills like action-taking, collaborative work, building market reach, career pathways, refining skills and broadening networks.

The course will be delivered entirely online and is made up of the components. The first is a six-part email pack aimed at providing inspiration and practical information to get artists thinking and taking action in developing a creative career.

The second component is a series of six interactive Zoom sessions delivered to help connect with and strengthen your networks, effectively prepare for new opportunities and grow your market reach.

The final component is an online community group designed to be a place for artists and creatives to ask questions and share ideas, knowledge, and inspiration. The platform also aims to strengthen connections and provide support networks as artists move forward in their creative endeavors.

The course will run from January to June 2023, and details and bookings are available on the Pop Up Art website.
