Testing Grounds
Creative Development, Emerging Artists
2022 – 2023
You have the idea, you have the drive; what do you do next?
Testing Grounds is a creative development and personal mentorship program for emerging artists interested in the creation and development of new work over a 8 – 9 month period. The program is a natural extension from the CuriousWorks Writer’s Group, previously called Urban Stories.
The program is currently open to three participants/projects a year.
Participants are offered:
- One-on-one creative development mentorship with industry mentors
- Group working sessions for the next stages of development through practical creative industry skills such as grant writing, collaboration and network support
- A works in progress showing
- Office space at Fairfield HQ
- In some cases, CuriousWorks may also support the production of new work
