ACCA is pleased to present NEW Collective, a series of free monthly sessions for emerging artists and curators. NEW Collective provides an opportunity for emerging practitioners to meet informally with other creatives at a similar career stage and to hear from ACCA artists and arts workers. It’s a chance to share ideas, pool resources and create connections.
While this program is free, registration is required and spots are limited. Sessions are designed for dropping in, please feel free to join for multiple sessions or just one.
There will be three sessions to align with NEW26.
Session 1: Artist as Arts Worker
Tuesday 29 September, 6-7:30pm
For the first session in this new series, hear from ACCA’s Education and Creative Engagement Coordinator, Freya Alexander, as she reflects on the opportunities and challenges involved in being both an artist and arts worker. This first session will also serve as an introduction to ACCA, the NEW Collective series, and NEW26, with a brief exhibition tour.
