The Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance is excited to announce that the first Pecha Kucha Night for 2012 will take place on Thursday 22th March at the Sol Bar in Maroochydore.  The Creative Alliance is putting out a call for creative presenters to speak at PKN #9 around the theme of 'Heart & Sol'.  Presenters share their passions, work and ideas using the globally renowned networking format Pecha Kecha with 20 slides each shown for 20 seconds, taking the total presentation to 6 minutes 40 seconds. If you haven't heard about PKN before take a look at the global website, now featuring events from over 460 centres across the world.

Interested presenters should email info@thecreativealliance.org with their name, phone, email and a short 200 word blurb about yourself, your work and what you might present about.   If you could do that by Feb 8 that would be great as we are having a committee meeting on the 10th.  More information can be found on our info sheet.  A blank powerpoint presentation is also available here.   More >>

Complete the online survey to assit in Sunshine Coast Council considerations about the roles it can play in supporting and growing the business of the creative and cultural industries in the region. In particular, it is looking at the arts and creative industry ‘incubation’ models in Australia and overseas, to determine the success and investment needed in different models and to envisage what kind of incubator facilities and services could be further developed in the region.
Positive Solutions has been engaged by Sunshine Coast Regional Council to conduct a survey designed for all those practitioners, businesses and organisations that see themselves as part of the cultural and creative industry of the region to determine in more detail the specific needs for future sustainability and growth.  They would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this questionnaire before 5pm on Monday 7th November. Your feedback is important to Council.
Please note that all information will be received by Positive Solutions, not Council. Responses will be treated in strictest confidence, will not be attributable to any organisation or individual by name, and will only be used for the purposes of this study. Please click here to be taken to the survey.
