We’re hosting a casual mastermind-style session where you can bring along something you’ve been chewing on — a creative challenge, a topic you’re keen to unpack, or a piece of work you’d love some fresh feedback on.

Whether you’re stuck on a client brief, figuring out how to grow your biz, or just feeling a bit creatively cooked—we’re inviting you to bring a problem, a project, or even just a conversation starter.

Not feeling stuck? That’s totally fine too. Come to share what you’ve been working on, join the conversation, or just lend your brain to someone else’s idea.

We’ll ease in with a couple of icebreakers, then break off into smaller groups for open discussion and idea-swapping. No pressure, just a laid-back evening with other people who get what it’s like to work and play in the creative world.

We’re also excited to have Arts Northern Rivers in the room, sharing fresh insights from their Who We Are research — a major two-year study mapping the size, impact, and value of our region’s creative sector. This is your chance to get a real, inside look at what’s driving our industry — the challenges, opportunities, and big-picture trends. If you care about building a creative life here, this is a conversation you’ll want to be part of.

Welcome drink included in ticket.

Food/snacks will be available to purchase.
