Creative City Artist Gathering
Description
Join fellow artists, makers, dreamers and creative thinkers from across Greater Shepparton for an informal evening centred around conversation, connection and creative play.
This is all about finding your people, celebrating our local creative community, and making space for the ideas that emerge when we come together in real life. Meet familiar and new faces, share a little about your creative practice, and explore new possibilities for collaboration and inspiration.
Hosted by artist, performer and educator Reese Truscott (aka GREESE MONKEY), the evening will use creativity as a way to break the ice and get people connecting. Expect playful collaborative drawing, artist bingo, creative prompts and activities designed to get ideas flowing and conversations happening naturally.
Known for creating welcoming, accessible creative experiences that dissolve barriers and invite participation, Reese will lead us through a relaxed evening of making and connecting, with plenty of time for food, drinks and conversation along the way.
No awkward networking required. Just come along, make some things, meet some people and see what emerges.
Free to attend | Refreshments provided
This is a Creative City Networking Session presented by TOPSOIL Arts in partnership with Riverlinks as part of Greater Shepparton City Council's Creative City Strategy.
Lineup
Reese Truscott
Reese Truscott, aka GREESE MONKEY, is a Victorian artist, performer and teacher focused on creative empowerment and freedom of expression. Through visual art and community collaboration, Reese creates opportunities for people to explore their creativity, break down barriers and experience art in an accessible way. Guided by introspective practices, Reese’s personal work explores Geometry, Technical Drawing, Abstraction, Surrealism and Mural Painting. Psychedelic influences appear throughout his work, featuring intricate fractal patterns that draw the viewer inward, juxtaposed with irrational creatures that inspire wonder. These elements are combined with mixed-media techniques to create immersive visual environments, often using light to heighten perception and transform the audience's experience. Reese’s professional experience in Film and Television Post Production provided a strong foundation in storytelling and visual communication. He now works as a visual arts teacher, developing his practice as an educator while continuing to explore new ways of connecting people with art and creativity.
