A new series of networking sessions for local creatives in Shepparton is needed, according to Riverlinks manager Ken Cameron.

“These forums are a real need because many creatives have no forum or opportunity to get together and discuss and share common stories, which is why these networking sessions are essential,” he said.

The creative city networking sessions — part of Greater Shepparton City Council’s Creative City Strategy — are a chance to help fellow artists connect.

The first session was in August, with another session on September 19 to feature a deep dive into all things festivals and events in the Goulburn Valley with Jamie Lea and guests at the JL Productions and Event Hire Warehouse.

On October 17, Neil Morris will talk about the work of Still Here Arts and Culture and invite local creatives into his dedicated First Nations music and production space, Yurringa Studio.

The final session is on November 21 at Tatura Community House.

The event will get participants thinking of ways to work more creatively and sustainably with visual artists and sisters Meg and Rachel Dollar.
