Pro Prac

How Are You Today? is a new series by Pro Prac where we check in on artists in the community and chat about how they are navigating life and their practice since the outbreak of coronavirus. In our first episode of the series we chat about where we are at and our hopes for the future.

How Are You Today? is generously supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants Program.

We're super jazzed to announce Pro Prac Symposium, a professional practice webinar where esteemed guest panellists share their knowledge on topics which were discussed in seasons one and two of Pro Prac podcast. Sessions will be held covering artists as parents, time and project management, exhibiting outside of the gallery system and residencies.

Saturday 2nd May – 10am to 5:30pm (with breaks)

On our final episode of the season, year and decade (!) we speak with Artist, Curator, Theatre Designer, Educator and New Mother Christina Hayes Haley about working with family, moving continents, working across disciplines, womens health, and resources, resources, resources.
