E-Zine

Welcome to a jam-packed Propel E-zine.

Firstly, Propel has two new amazing programs for you!

Are you an artist and want to find more about your obligations and rights and responsibilities when it comes to copyright? Register now the upcoming Amplifier workshop - Creative Commons! The workshop is this Friday! Want to get behind the scenes with Amplifier? We are looking for volunteers to help us out. 

Applications are now open for JUMP, the Australia Council’s national mentoring program for young and emerging artists. Interested in the direction of youth arts in WA? Propel is co-hosting National Conversation: Mapping the Future with Young People and the Arts Australia.

With winter behind us and Spring officially upon us, why not head outside for a arty treat? There are heaps of events happening over the next two weeks to keep you busy and provide an excuse to hold the spring cleaning! Check out our What's On calender. There are also some great opportunities for you to get involved in the arts.
