Coming Up:
Managing Creativity and Chaos with Emil McAvoy
When: Thursday May 30, 6-8pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Price: $60
In 2024, the world appears increasingly shaped by chaotic forces and events: economically, politically, environmentally, and in our creative and personal lives.
Emil McAvoy – artist, art writer, lecturer, curator and independent consultant for artists – is used to juggling roles, and navigating uncertainty and opportunity.
Emil will discuss numerous principles and practices to navigate contemporary chaos – in the creative sector and wider world – also drawing on case studies from his diverse experiences, roles and projects.
There will also be space for a short open Q & A at the end of the presentation.
Bring a pen and paper for taking notes.
