Australia Council has collaborated with Lismore Regional Gallery and the Splendour in the Grass music festival to launch SPLENDID, a groundbreaking initiative to workshop and showcase young and emerging Australian artists.
Ten young and emerging artists who work across the visual arts, theatre, dance, design, installation, architecture, digital art, text, sound and other creative areas will be chosen to undertake a three-week Arts Lab residency in Lismore in July 2009.
During the residency, the ten SPLENDID participants will not only be mentored in their own art form by some of the most recognised artists in the world, they will be encouraged to explore the concept of ‘’cross artform’’, working collaboratively within a dynamic environment that encourages critical thinking and experimentation.
The concepts workshopped during the residency will be further developed over a six month period and several will be commissioned to premiere at Splendour in the Grass 2010. This process will occur three times, with artworks commissioned for Splendour in the Grass 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Applications close 4 May 2009

If you're not already a member of AllAroundYou.net, you need to sign up to RSVP to this workshop
Well you’ve really been meaning to make that website but you never got around to it. Those pictures and videos you promised yourself you’d share. You think you should start a blog, but you’re not entirely sure how. You don’t know what an HTML is (you’re sure she’s friends with WWW and FPS) and you really don’t care. And to top it off, your budget is close to zero. Luckily, CuriousWorks has the workshop for you!
At our Randle Street warehouse on Saturday, 21st of March from 12pm-4pm, CuriousWorks will be hosting a workshop that shows you how to use free tools on the internet to create your own multimedia website. This workshop is ideal for people who have little to no experience creating their own websites or sharing their content online. In our workshop we will utilise the following free tools:
- Wordpress - to create and host our website/blog
- Flickr - to organise and share our photos on the website
- Youtube - to share videos and embed them on your website
- Google Maps - to BLOW PEOPLE’S MINDS by embedding a map with multimedia content on your website!
At the end of the workshop you will walk away with your very own website with a blog, photos, video and an interactive map!
CuriousWorks is using the workshop day as a fundraiser for our community projects and the cost of the workshop is $99. And of course because CuriousWorks is a registered charity, that means your ticket price is entirely tax-deductable. Epic Win. There are 15 places available so get in quick.
Participants should bring their own laptop and any video or images they have ready to upload. Don’t worry if you have no content, we’ll have lots handy for you to use.
To reserve your place at the workshop just RSVP here on AllAroundYou! Follow this link to find our payment details and you will be well on your way to internet stardom.
For those interested in a more advanced workshop, keep your eyes peeled next month, as we will soon be hosting an advanced tutorial devoted to installing Wordpress software on your own webhost. Something for all the FTP fans out there.
The Curiousworks crew have been sharing their mad skills around the country and are gearing up to deliver some workshops in Sydney direct from their inner city warehouse.

Artist as Social Entrepreneur
If you are not already familiar with Big hArt then you are in for a really nice surprise. I recommend this forum especially if you are Brisbane based, and have not yet been inspired by Big hArt!
It's run as part of Metro Arts Biz Arts Makers program - Date: Wednesday February 11 2009
Time: 3pm to 6:30pm (6:30pm to 7pm drinks)

....................................................................................
Artist as Social Entrepreneur
Increasingly around Australia we are seeing positive examples of artists working as social entrepreneurs. These artists activate diverse strategies towards socio and political change by linking contemporary arts practice with the emerging field of social entrepreneurship. Their projects engage with identified communities and span artforms and community issues – from film, to photography, theatre and music; from issues of domestic abuse, to cultural dislocation and corporate greed. The measuring stick for a project's success is the positive social impact it has on the community. This forum will invite leading practitioners to unpack working methods through exploration of their current partnerships and projects in the realm of social entrepreneurship.

THE JB SEED ART FOR THE PUBLIC GRANT
We are offering grants of up to $5000 for visual artists who are undertaking projects to be delivered free to the public, outdoors or in prominent indoor spaces. We want these works to become a form of social commentary, communication and inspiration between the artist and the general public.

Soundclash - New Ozco Grant
So it looks like there's a little bit of attention coming your way if you are working in hybridised popular music forms... yes you! There's up to 10k for projects that fit the grid from the Australia Council, our lovely and switched on national funding body.
Due Date: Mon 20th April
Website: www.australiacouncil.gov.au
.........................................................................................................
The Australia Council for the Arts has just announced a new music initiative - Soundclash. In the past ten years, the field of contemporary popular music (pop, rock, hip hop, electronic dance music and other, related modern music forms) has become increasingly hybrid, challenging the boundaries of the form itself.
'Soundclash' seeks to address these developments by supporting contemporary popular music that takes risks and demonstrates a strong commitment to experimentation. The initiative aims to support experimental, creative and innovative music projects across all styles of contemporary popular music. Musically successful innovation within the popular music format is a key consideration in the assessment of this initiative.
'Soundclash' provides funding of up to $10,000 for any costs associated with a contemporary popular music project.
Guidelines are now available on our website at www.australiacouncil.gov.au/soundclash . Application forms will be online six weeks before the closing date.
