Strategic Thinking + Project Design
Develop strategic and flexible project planning skills that can strengthen and future-proof your organisation, group, or project in this two day workshop.
Part 1: Strategic Thinking – The Why
This session will help participants uncover the deeper purpose behind their work. You’ll reflect on the gap or need your project addresses, who it’s for, why it matters, and how it connects with people’s lives. You’ll build clarity around your mission and the communities/audiences you aim to engage.
Part 2: Project Design – The How
Building on this strategic foundation, the second session will explore how to design adaptable, opportunity-ready projects. You’ll learn how to scale your idea to suit different contexts (e.g., $5k, $25k, or $100k versions) and how to pitch well-considered, implementation-ready initiatives that align with your long-term goals and vision.
This workshop is a part of the Eastern Riverina Arts Creative Industries Bootcamp.

Creative Industries Panel - Wearing Many Hats
Creatives in regional and rural Australia often juggle a rich mix of roles, from artist to administrator, teacher to technician, maker to mentor. This panel celebrates the diverse ways creatives show up for their communities, sustain their practices, and stay adaptable in a shifting industry landscape.
We'll explore how “multi-hat” work drives innovation, builds networks, and reveals unexpected career pathways, all while navigating burnout, boundaries, and the business side of art.
Panel Lineup Coming Soon
