Creative Sparks is our Creative Industries program for youth aged 13-24. Through a series of workshops and talks, the program aims to promote the creative industries as a career, coping mechanism and community enhancer. The sessions are run in partnership with local Councils, education and industry partners.

Creative Sparks - Port macquarie

Arts Mid North Coast delivered Creative Sparks for young people in Port Macquarie-Hastings during Youth Week 2025. Local artist/facilitators were engaged to present and deliver hands on workshops and talks about creative careers and pathways. Facilitators included:

  • Steph Maddren (Dancer/Performer)
  • Brad Collins (Videographer/Illustrator/Musician)
  • Anne de  Nooijer (Visual Artist)
  • Jess Davidson (performer/venue owner)
  • Daniel Parlevliet (Theatre technician/performer)
  • Chris Proctor(Artist)

The sessions provided hands on creative activities, career tips and a networking opportunity for young creatives.

Arts Mid North Coast are seeking further funding to expand this program into other regions on the Mid North Coast. If you are interested in becoming a partner, get in touch with Skye Petho: programs@artsmidnorthcoast.org
