HOW TO STAY COOL, CALM AND COLLECTIVE

We would love for you to join us on Saturday 5 November for Scenic Rim Regional Council's final Arts Dinner for 2022 at the Canungra School of Arts Hall.

With the theme focussing on How to Stay Cool, Calm and Collective, we are setting the stage for a fun, relaxed and engaging evening where creatives from around the region, including Andrew Wright from Goat Track Theatre Company, Kat Creasey from Olive View Estate and Only Goodtimes Co, Mick Angus from DMA Creative, and Courtney Guerin from Canungra's the 4275 Collective, will share their perspectives on how to get arts initiatives off the drawing board and maintaining the momentum.

Ken Markwell, senior Wangerriburra Traditional Custodian, will be giving the Welcome to Country, and Alistar Richardson and Clea of Swanpond Studios, in the Scenic Rim, will be performing on the night.

The free evening event, from 5.30pm, caps off the 4275 Collective's Open Studio which runs from 9am to 2pm on the same day at the School of Arts Hall, Canungra and bookends a stellar year of arts and culture in the Scenic Rim. 

The invitation is open to everyone for an evening of good food, great company and inspiring conversation centred on creating connections in the creative and wider community.
