A creative recovery: the mutual benefits of creative and small business partnerships
Date: Wednesday 17 March 7pm via Zoom
Creative Coalitions is a pilot program to facilitate business partnerships between Surf Coast small business and creatives. The pilot will be a mentored, monitored program where participants will be assisted in the important developing stages of their partnership.
For a month throughout April, participants will receive a weekly check-in, with tips and hints for how to make a successful partnership, videos and examples of other partnerships to inspire both parties on their journey.
PORTAL/The Surf Coast Shire will assist with funding creative services to a value of $1000.
At the end of April, PORTAL will host a networking event for local creatives and small businesses to launch the accompanying resource kit and Creative Coalitions register.
Details will be made available soon.
