Past Activities

 

Access Team

The Access Team worked with Chelsea Community Renewal to support planning for a community arts project at the railway station. As a result of a creative visioning session the project has received support from local government and the Department of Transport.

Plan Van

Plan Van was designed to address gaps in planning and implementation assistance for community arts projects in Victoria's more isolated regional areas. In 2010 Plan Van visited the North West and East Gippsland Regions in Victoria. Each workshop series was informed by local consultation into the skills development needs in each region, including with local councils. Workshops such as "People - Making Connections" and "Producing Great Events" were complemented with sessions on Communication and Promotion. Project and networking ideas in each region have emerged out of the workshop series.
