NZ arts and business workshops

November 20th, 2003

NZ arts and business workshops

Early Xmas present for the artists of Wellington

ARMS and WACT are holding a series of FREE workshops about the arts

and business from next Monday, November 24 through to Friday 12

December.

Artists and those involved in the arts industry will be able to learn

how to build an audience and increase income through simple business

practices. The sessions are focused on practical knowledge and tools

to boost careers, presented in a fun environment by people who know

both sides of the arts/business fence.

ARMS is an organisation founded to raise the level of arts enterprise

in New Zealand by bringing business smarts to artists and showing

them ways to make cash flow for their passion.

WACT (Wellington Artists’ Charitable Trust) was formed to foster the

development of the freelance artistic talent that makes Wellington

the Creative Capital. WACT provides production and infrastructure

support through its purpose-built rehearsal room, production and

office facilities in its Cable Street Studio.

All workshops are FREE but are limited to 20 people per session and

will be held from 12pm to 4pm at the rehearsal rooms of WACT on the

first floor of 44 Cable Street (above Tory European, opposite Te

Papa), phone 385 0192.

The schedule of the workshops is as follows:

Monday 24 November: Writing

(playwrights, novelists, short story writers, poets, self-publishers

and associated industry)

Tuesday 25 November: Performing Arts

(actors, dancers, comedians, soloists, musicians, directors,

producers and associated industry)

Wednesday 26 November: Visual Arts

(painters, sculptors, crafts, galleries and associated industry)

Thursday 27 November: Music

All sessions are interactive using participant experiences, case

studies and audience participation. The content of each session is

targeted at a particular art form as shown in the headings above.

However, the core essence of the workshops applies to all arts

disciplines.

The workshops focus on artists as the primary generators of income,

but also cover the associated infrastructure of the art forms. All

workshops are designed for New Zealanders wanting to boost their

income and develop long-term sustainable careers in the global arts

industry.

OzComics Magazine #3

November 20th, 2003

Seeking news for OzComics Magazine #3.

OCM will be released in late December and I am

hunting for any news related material.

I’m looking for details on:

Any comics you are about to release, or are working on.

Any zines you are about to release, or are working on.

Exhibitions you’ve got planned, or if you’ve had one that

just finished how was it.

Any comics you’re converting to film.

A website you’re developing on your comix/zine life.

Really anything related to the small press circle

that you can tell me about.

Heck if you know of any news about other creators would

be just as helpful.
