When I get back to Perth, one of the first things I’m doing is speaking as part of the next Propel Arts Pollinate Forum. It’s a free event for anyone under 25 years of age (but don’t forget to register) and $10 for older folk. Here’s the details:

MYSPACE IS BETTER THAN YOURS – POLLINATE FORUM

MONDAY 27 August

– skills development for ALL young artists –

Our next Pollinate is fast approaching and it asks the question: Is MySpace is better than Yours?

Join Propelarts and a group of young artists, arts workers and young people on Monday 27 August to discuss the digital age and its transformation of the arts space as we know it. Helping us take a look at issues around promoting your arts online will be:

Dr Tama Leaver: Tama is an academic from the University of Western Australia, who’ll be talking about the trends and theories of digital spaces.

Bonnie Davies: Bonnie is more than comfortable with new technologies. She’ll talk about some of the creative possibilities they offer and what she has learnt in working for the media artists of PVI collective.

David Hodgkinson: Our Propelarts treasurer is also a qualified lawyer, and for this Pollinate, he’ll help unravel the legal ramifications of putting your art online.

Lots of interesting discussion and tips and tricks for getting your message out there! Check out Propelarts at www.propelarts.org.au and RSVP to Maeve on 9328 5855 / maeve@propelarts.org.au.

… see you there! …
