Short Description

This community audience-driven initiative seeks to support new creative collaborations by providing micro funding to help kick-start your project. In the Creative Kitchen, the audience has the power, so make sure you bring you fan club and your creative ideas along to this fun networking evening! On the night, artists will pitch and the audience will vote. The vote will determine who is awarded $1000 to push their idea towards realisation. This fun networking opportunity aims to get creative juices flowing. The bar will be open (so you can buy influence with voters) and any donations made on the night will also be given to the winner. Pop it in your diary and pop on your thinking caps. Technical experimentation, recordings, mural painting, community workshops, art events, live performances – nothing is off the table.

Imagine joining an artist to learn a new skill and to contribute to a significant public project. For example; adding your own length of string, hand-made from recycled domestic textiles, to help create the biggest ball of yarn Canberra has ever seen. Think of all the used material and the memories carried and twisted into the monumental outcome.
