Next was another band/DJ line up at Stokehouse pasta bar with Sinj Clarke providing the perfect soundtrack for a day on the foreshore.
Nov - Usual November Chaos
Another huge year nearly done with November serving up the usual.
PICA is now open (Port Melbourne Industrial Centre for the Arts) A couple of shows in and we are really happy with the space. The guys from Electric Callboy tore the roof off to a sellout crowd so really excited to see what else comes through the space.
Other highlights this month were our first event at the Terrace in the Botanical gardens along with plenty of racing carnival activations.
Big steps forward with the imminent launch of the technicaltalent.com app and continual additions into the equipment inventory have us closing out 2023 on a massive high.
Mar - Grand Prix Time
Grand prix is always a big week for us as our home turf around St kilda is taken over.
This year was no different with events across all venues with Red bull and Aston Martin 2 of the stand outs. A small interruption for the Stokehouse build when an ex president rocked up but still delivered on time.
Feb - Price / St kilda fest
Feb is always a big one
Being based in St kilda is brilliant until the roads get closed but the yearly pride march and St kilda festival weekends had as again spread across the mighty 3182!
Jan - Revive Policy Launch
More industry support on its way.
We had the privilege of running the National policy launch in the iconic Gershwin room.
This involved coordinating live stream, performance and video elements with a special guest speaker Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
Notes about the policy
The Australian Government released its landmark National Cultural Policy—Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place, on 30 January 2023.
Revive is a 5-year plan to renew and revive Australia's arts, entertainment and cultural sector. It delivers new momentum so that Australia's creative workers, organisations and audiences continue to thrive and grow, and so that our arts, culture and heritage are re-positioned as central to Australia's future.
