The Space Issue

An Informal Discussion with Marcus Westbury

Join Marcus Westbury and local Perth artists at the Amplifier forum

Marcus Westbury is a broadcaster, writer, media maker and festival director who has been responsible for some of Australia’s more innovative, unconventional and successful cultural projects and events. He has also worked across a range of media as a writer, producer, director and presenter covering fields as diverse as culture, art, media, urban planning, sport and politics.

In 2008 Marcus founded Renew Newcastle with his own funds and energy. It’s a low budget, not for profit, DIY urban renewal scheme that has brokered access to 25 empty buildings for creative enterprises, artists and cultural projects in his home town of Newcastle, NSW.

Propel Youth Arts WA’s Amplifier arts business training program is pleased to create this opportunity for an insightful look into the success of Renew Newcastle, along with an exploration of the need and nature of space for creative practice which is an ongoing issue in Perth.

Also along to profile their local Perth creative spaces include:
+ Karl Williams, Project Manager from McNess Studios – www.mcnessstudios.blogspot.com + Kate Neylon, Project Coordinator at CIA Studios – www.ciastudios.com.au
