TAKE THE PRESSURE DOWN - Demystifying next steps for young people

TAKE THE PRESSURE DOWN

A FREE event for Bega Valley young people, designed to demystify careers in the arts and calm nerves about what's next. 

We know making choices about your future can feel super daunting, we hope TAKE THE PRESSURE DOWN will be an inspiring, relaxed experience to get you thinking about your future in creative ways. 

Local young people and their families get a chance to hear from a range of amazing artists in our community about how they built their careers, with a chance to ask the artists questions. 

This is a FREE event with FOOD provided.
