Artists Initiative

creating cultural communities

In 2012 Jo Wooler is presenting ‘The fundamentals of building a sustainable arts practice’ workshops in the Moreton Bay Region and the Capricorn Region (Queensland, Australia) as individual one day condensed workshops where participants will receive the comprehensive information from her 2010/2011 series all in one interactive text book.

To qualify for Jo Wooler’s ‘Fundamentals’ workshops in your area outside her pre-booked schedule dates simply book a minimum of five participants (maximum of eight) per one day workshop (includes Jo’s travel costs).

Working with Jo, participants will develop their creative identity during the one day course. At the end of the course participants will have a better understanding of themselves and their identity as an artist and take with them the necessary tools and skills learned to build on their professional development as they continue to work through Jo’s text book at their own pace.

“I feel this will be more effective rather than doing a ’series’ of workshops throughout the year as people often miss one or two. I would like to see my workshops reach and benefit as many artists as I possibly can in 2012″ says Jo.
