Creative City Networking Sessions: Art X Business Showcase

Presented amidst a showcase of artworks by local creatives at Milestone Cafe, this networking session is all about how art can activate a space, create engagement and add value to your business and venues. Each artist will briefly introduce themselves and their work before you're all invited to enjoy light refreshments, view the work and chat with the artists to explore potential opportunities for working together. A great setting to meet our local artists and hear from businesses who have worked with them.

Arrive at 5.30pm for 6pm start
