| ERA Announces Maker to Market Youth Program |
|
|
Got a creative idea, side hustle or small business dream? Eastern Riverina Arts is excited to introduce Maker to Market, a FREE program for young creatives aged 13–18 who want to turn their passion into something more.
Through three hands-on workshops, participants will learn the essentials of running a creative business, from branding and marketing to budgeting and pricing, before putting their new skills into action by creating their own stall at a youth makers market in December.
Whether you make art, jewellery, clothing, zines, sweet treats or something completely different, Maker to Market is your chance to build confidence, develop practical skills and share your creativity with the community!
Workshop 1: The Pretty Stuff commenced this afternoon.
A few spaces are still available, applications essential. |

It's been a busy and inspiring time for the Eastern Riverina Arts team, delivering a wide range of creative opportunities and supporting arts and culture across the region. As part of the Creative Industries Bootcamp On the Road, ERA delivered 18 workshops across eight Local Government Areas (LGAs), helping build creative skills, confidence and connections in our regional communities.
Alongside this, we've supported the presentation of two art prizes and through art prize judging at both Coolamon and Temora. It's wonderful to see such a breadth of creativity, talent and artistic activity flourishing across the Eastern Riverina. |
