Women’s breakfast next month
‘WOMEN in the Arts’ will be the focus of the next Business and Professional Women (South West) breakfast meeting.
The 12th annual August breakfast meeting is open to all and will be held at the Lady Bay Resort on Tuesday, August 6 from 7.15am.
Guests at the meeting will hear from three professionals in the arts sector who will discuss their work, careers and journey to date:
Regional Arts Victoria regional manager Stacey Barnes works across five Great South Coast councils to support creative industries.
Sherry Johnstone, contemporary aboriginal artist and proud Keerray Wooroong/Yorta Yorta woman runs her own business called Spirit and Soul Creations.
Professional artist Kathryn Ryan has been exhibiting work in galleries in Melbourne and Sydney for 35 years and has won several awards.
BPW South West president Mel Curtis said over the past 12 years the breakfast event had become a great way to learn more about the amazing work and passions of women across the south west.
“Last year we focused on women in the media, and it was such an interesting discussion; this year we are keen to learn more about the types of roles there are in the arts sector and the different ways women are working,” Ms Curtis said.
“I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in the arts to come along.
“Whether you are already working or creating, or keen to find out more about what you could do, it will be a good opportunity to network.”
Business and Professional Women South West meets on the first Tuesday of the month.
