Emerging local artist Lauren Gissing will be leading a practical workshop designed to help young artists take the next step in their creative journeys.

The workshop will introduce:
- how to apply for exhibitions and
- respond to Expressions of Interest (EOIs),
- alongside an introduction to public art pathways,
- proposals, and
- concept development.
Lauren will also share insights into professional practices, including pricing work, networking, and building an online presence.
