Haberfield Library, 78 Dalhousie Road Haberfield, NSW 2044

You’ve probably made stuff – you might be a writer of prose, poetry or songs. Maybe you draw, paint or animate. If that sounds familiar, you might wonder how to get your work out of your notebook, bedroom, or studio and in front of people?

This workshop is all about those steps towards sharing creative work with the world – finding venues to perform, places to publish or exhibit, funding and grant opportunities, and along the way contributing to communities of creative people.

D.A. Carter (aka Papa Fire) is a singer-songwriter, poet, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and presenter based in Sydney.

This an event for people aged 12+ and is suitable for an intergenerational audience.

5 live acts, delicious food by Mama Smoke, shimmering lights by Nathan Starchild in an inner west warehouse!

Performances by:

The Family Flame (+ Special Guests)
6+ piece band of outrageous funk and soul fused with hiphop, blues and a sprinkle of psychedelia

Zeadala
Captivating acoustic + hip hop to earth and uplift ya

The Brittle Stars
A folk supergroup debut ft. Bron Watkins, Cam Raeburn (and more!)

Anorah
Fresh from a trip to Africa, Anorah sings her freaking soul out

Faux Coy
Champs plucked from the last Family Flame open jam

After the headline act, there’ll be an open jam! All musos or vocalists welcome to jump in!

Ticketholders will get address 24hrs before the show – location is 10mins walk from St Peters / Erskineville Stations.

I’ll be performing (and hanging out with my family, and probably roving and playing for adults and kiddos with my musical menu) at Galactic over New Years.

Making time and space for your creativity might seem impossible sometimes – but with simple tools and techniques you can transform the space and time you have – however small – into your own personal craft to explore your creative cosmos.

We’ll talk scheduling, habit-building and how you can use time and space to trigger a regular switch into creative mode.

This workshop is suitable for all people aged 12 years and over.

Free workshop Friday 10am 24 September 2021 through Inner West Council Library on creating and maintaining a positive art practice in your life!
