Propel Youth Arts E-Zine

Welcome to another Propel E-zine.

Firstly, congratulations to the eight WA artists chosen for the JUMP national mentoring program. You can read more about one of the artists, Andrea Gibb on our Artist in Focus page. We would like to welcome new board members Karen Campbell, Louise Coles and Rebecca Kais to the Propel team and congratulate Jane Coffrey, Michael Patchell and Jill Brown on their re-appoinment.

Want to stay in to avoid the wintery weather? Nothing like a robotronics or impro-comedy twentyten workshop to keep your warm! Register now. Already thinking about the July school holidays? Registrations are now open for ArtsCAMP!

There is an awesome FREE all ages gig, Music Feedback, happening this Friday 16th April in the Northbridge Piazza. Want to get more involved in the arts? There are lots of volunteer opportunities available ranging from film and music festivals to creative survey participation . This E-zine also boasts heaps of job vacancies - check them out.

Happy reading
