Create NSW is providing a brief update about the recent merging of arts and screen followed by an interactive session where creatives are encouraged to bring their art or screen projects, dreams, concepts or fully formed ideas. No idea is too big or small, so bring your informal pitch and experts in the room will offer suggestions about strategy, partners, resourcing and funding. Or you can just come along and learn from how other people are making things happen.

Register on the Create NSW website.
