GRIFFIN ARTIST BLOG

Griffin Artist Card membership is an initiative to increase access to our theatre. This program facilitates the coming together of artists across different disciplines and at different stages of their career. It supports and strengthens a vibrant emerging artist community, as well as acknowledging this community as an important part of the Griffin family and the wider theatre world.

How does it work? We want to offer a place where artists can see work, discuss work and make work.

To see work, we will continue to offer heavily discounted $15 tickets, which can be booked in the first fortnight of all Griffin and Griffin Independent shows, Performance Space shows at members' rates and ticket deals and giveaways to other theatre companies.

To discuss work, we are introducing regular Artist Card events where the community can come together for a drink.

And finally, we are supporting emerging artists in their making of new, bold and exciting work. Griffringe will continue to be a great avenue for artist card holders to display their work. We will also be offering (where possible!) free use of our space for readings and developments.

The Artist Card is a community. It is the glitter glue that brings all the cool amazing arty people together and helps them sparkle. So it's almost like glitter glue squared. If you are interested in joining the artist card outfit, please email artist@griffintheatre.com.au or come along to our next shindig….Hope to see you there!

PACT #1

Everything is coming up roses at PACT. If you want the chance to explore your creativity in a safe space with fun, crazy-performance-enabling people, then PACT is your best bet. There will be several posts about what PACT has to offer this year, the first of which is their VACANT ROOM program.

This is a chance for emerging artists to develop an idea with mentors from PACT.

“PACT offers interdisciplinary artists the opportunity of a month long residency to develop an idea or project with artistic mentoring. The creative development period will culminate in a showing for feedback from an invited audience.

Three groups of artists will share the space over the same time period to develop their projects and extend their skills. Artists will have the input of specialist mentors and engage in weekly peer conversation and exchange.”

Rad, right?

Application due: 16 April
