Hosted by National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) as part of Hawkesbury Now 2026.
Calling all local artists! In this introductory workshop, you will learn about the Code, what it covers, how to access it, navigate it and when to use it. You will come away with the confidence to effectively apply the Code to real‑world scenarios that you will encounter in your work and practice. Topics covered include:
Over 3 hours you will gain insight from industry professionals and have the opportunity to connect with other local artists. There will be a short morning break during the session, light refreshments provided.
This workshop is aimed at local artists considering submitting an expression of interest (EOI) for Hawkesbury Now 2026.
The workshop will be presented by Donnalyn Xu and Shoufay Derz from NAVA, with Hawkesbury Regional Gallery staff available to answer any questions regarding your Hawkesbury Now EOI.
