Due to the heightened Covid alert in NSW we have made the decision to change our Sydney Arts Industry Get Together from an in person event to online event. There will be two panel conversations with guest speakers about surviving and thriving as a creative under the new circumstances we find ourselves in 2021.
PROGRAM
