Spring update...

It's been a pretty hectic few months and in between all the responsibilities of being a mostly responsible member of a family I continue to meet dynamic individuals doing incredible things. I have been working with graphic/web designer on a new website for my business, which is looking great and continue to search for new opportunities and approaches to accommodate the many varied creative individuals I work with. Other news...

• Last week I caught up with Jane Longhurst, an accomplished actor, who has recently taken on the role of Project Manager for the Theatre Council of Tasmania. What an exciting and challenging time for both amateur and professional theatre in the state. There appear to be a good group of people round the table, so let's hope there is the vision and capacity to look at some interesting models to support the support and growth of this sector.
• Jaspa Wood has been working with me in the Tasmanian Regional Arts office, managing the Open Your Eyes project, which was held at the end of September across Southern Tasmania. One of my favourite elements of this was the inclusion of the Roving Artists, a fantastic mechanism that provided information and art to regional communities. Lovely idea that I would like to factor into every future project I manage. Check out Tristan Soward
• Tasman Village was the venue for the recent Tas Regional Arts gathering and it was great. So check it out if you get the chance.
• Bonorong and Tarkine Trail last week launched a new Tas Devil research project in partnership with the Book End Trust and the Tas Land Conservancy. Very exciting and another entrepreneurial project with social outcomes. An example of business doing GOOD.
