The CuriousWorks Toolkit is a free, online depository of resources created for and by emerging artists and arts educators. It features case studies of past projects, how-to’s around production and tech, strategies for running film and arts workshops, and other creative tips and tools we’ve picked up as artists and arts workers in Western Sydney. These aren’t the only tools we think folks should have in their toolkit – but they’re the tools that have worked for us.
