Central Otago District Arts Trust

Hello

What's On in the Arts in Central Otago - May

 

Creative Entrepreneur Workshop Series with Nicola Bennett

The Central Otago District Arts Trust (CODAT) is thrilled to present a series of workshops designed to help artists build sustainable creative careers. 

Nicola is an established abstract painter who has made Central Otago her home. With a successful visual arts career and an entrepreneurial mindset, Nicola offers unique insights into sustaining a creative practice.

Nicola graduated with first-class honours from Whitecliffe College with a Master's in Fine Art in 2007 and has artwork in private collections in New Zealand, Europe, Australia, and the States. Teaching students of all ages was a big part of her life for many years before she dedicated herself to her own art practice. Now, she's ready to share what she has learnt on her creative journey.

Thanks to funding support from Creative New Zealand and Pub Charities, we're able to offer these valuable workshops at the affordable price of $40 per session. Attend one workshop or the complete series!
