Groundswell: Creative Thinkers, Creative Solutions is an inclusive artist-driven forum that aims to find new solutions to old problems.

It is time for alternative enterprises to create a stronger professional presence for this vibrantly popular, ever-emerging and important sector.

There will be opportunity for all to engage in open discussion and next stages of action.

This is a unique opportunity for artists and anyone interested to contribute and be at the forefront of change.
