Building a Sustainable Career in WA’s Performing Arts Industry

Fuel for your artistic evolution

This Winter Nights, we’re delivering 10 professional development workshops designed to spark creativity and build industry skills. From performance to producing and marketing to design, these sessions are here to empower, inspire, and strengthen our arts community. 

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience working alongside independent artists and arts workers, Monique will share her warts-and-all reflections on how to build a sustainable career in Western Australia’s performing arts industry.

Who are the key players in our State’s performing arts ecosystem? How do you balance artistic integrity and financial sustainability? What stakeholder networks do you need to build? What funding and fundraising should you pursue? What are local case studies of success?

Monique will lead relaxed, conversational style event where questions are welcomed, stories are shared and participants are part of the conversation.
