Art Bites: Finding Community and Creating Platforms

How do you find and create a creative community? Where do you go to connect with like-minded people and how do you navigate the sea of resources and support out there to support your creative journey?

For many young people music, art, culture and creativity are essential for survival. Creativity thrives in community and yet in this contemporary, post-pandemic world, many young creatives living in the suburbs and outer regions are doing it alone, hungry for connection and communities of support and inspiration.

This session features talks and performances by South-East Melbourne's producers, artists and cultural practitioners who are contributing to building the South-East's emerging creative scene. 

Hear about their experiences of collaboration, growing culture and community and building new self-determined platforms for young outer suburban voices.
