Finding your way as a professional artist or arts worker can be lonely and overwhelming. That’s where our Open Door Policy comes in. A few times a year, we host Open Door Days, where anyone can book time with one of our friendly team members for a chat.
Whether you’re seeking professional insights, guidance on navigating the art world, needing a sounding board for your ideas, or simply wanting to talk about what we do at CuriousWorks, our doors are open.
Quotes from Open Door participants:
CJ Verita:
“Open Doors was the perfect opportunity for me to share my work in a safe, supportive environment and receive feedback. As well as getting invaluable career advice and a sense of direction for my path moving forward as an artist.
The open door session I had with Kiri and Miranda was so helpful and insightful for my personal development and career direction. I cannot thank them both enough for providing such a safe, inviting space to nurture the growth of artists such as myself. It was a blessing to have their vision and guidance imparted at this stage of my creative journey.”
Siena Bordignon:
“CuriousWorks’ Open Door Days are IMMENSELY valuable for emerging artists. Miranda helped me take the next steps in my project with confidence and direction. Open Door Days are creative community building at its finest!”
Kayla Hill:
“Open Door Days was such a valuable experience! I was immediately welcomed and supported. Leaving, I felt so much more comfortable and encouraged to continue my journey in the arts world. I am so glad to have this resource in Western Sydney!”
