Arts & Culture Survey closes Monday 10

Moreland is developing its new Arts and Culture Strategy and we want to hear from you.

The Strategy will articulate how Moreland supports, advocates and collaborates with its creative sector – to make sure we set the right priorities and develop strategies that will address those priorities we need your input!

We will have a number of consultation events during 2016 but for now we would like for you to fill in our survey which is only open until 10 April 2016.

The survey asks questions such as

·         What do you think Moreland is doing well with its support of creative activities?
·         What would you like to see Moreland do differently?
·         What do you see as the most critical areas the next Moreland Arts and Culture strategy should focus on?
·         How can Council partner with artists or organisations to support artists and cultural programs in Moreland?

This information will be critical for us understanding which areas to focus our attention on as priorities so please take some time to fill in the survey.

You can find the survey hereimage002

Melbourne Fringe Registrations Now Open

headerFringe With Benefits

What’s that? You want to be part of our amazing festival? Well now is the time to Step Into the Light: registrations have just opened for 2016 and we’re psyched to see what you have in store for us.

We have big plans for this year’s Festival including a brand new category for all of you storytellers, poets and wordsmiths, the expansion of our Family Program at the Fringe Hub, and some other things we’re gonna keep under wraps for just a while longer…

April 4_crpo
Registrations Now Open

Last year 6,000 artists presented 400 events in 196 venues over 19 days. In other words, we took over Melbourne with celebration, adventure, risk, fun, experimentation and bravery and we’re ready to do it all over again.

Whether you’re an established or emerging artist, queer, straight, trans, young, old, local, interstate, speak English, don’t speak a word of it, it’s time to Step Into the Light and become a part of this year’s Festival.

For all you poets, storytellers, thinkers, philosophers and masters of the spoken word, we’ve also created a brand new category called Words and Ideas.

We’ve also introduced a new registration structure for artists wanting to present 2-4 sessions.

We’re looking for big, bold, beautiful, ugly, strange, spectacular, experimental, innovative, scary, exhilarating, unique, different, diverse. We’re looking for you.
