A brief but very pleasant trip to Gympie this week to launch the Creative Backpack series of arts business workshops for the region. A Council initiative, this workshop series will equip visual artists to set up and run their arts businesses, encourage them to be a little more business savvy and help them  to identify and take advantage of business opportunities. It’s not all about business, just about balancing creative practice with business practice for fun and profit. Happily over the next few months I’ll be working with the local artists to help set them on the path of developing a successful micro art ventures. Look forward to it.
