We know that Bendigo’s Creative Community is huge. We know because through the process of producing our latest Outside the Square event on the topic of Creative Communities we are discovering more and more amazing creative initiatives every day.
It’s inspiring because creativity is the back bone of communities – health and well being, social connections, self expression, local economies, community development, street vibrancy, tourism, the list could go on.
There are so many people we could recognise and acknowledge in this space. As a start we’d like to extend our warmest and heartfelt thanks to our Ambassadors, supporters and speakers that helped bring our Creative Communities event to life:
