Townsville is going to host the Inaugural Northern Australian Arts Fest!
We always have a blast at Strand Ephemera and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, and couldn't get enough of Festival 2018 this year - so we can't wait to see how the Northern Australian Festival of Arts builds on these already world-class events! facebook.com/HarshmellowMedi…

Research from @Entertainassist shows that 5 Australian entertainment industry workers attempt death by suicide every week. My Nitro opinion piece discusses mental health policy and educational intervention to protect artists' mental health: wellartist.org/blog/mental-h…

Here's a thoughtful comment from today's THINKWELL workshop: It's not about performance, it's about potential. When we start and finish work in the last 2 days before a deadline, how much time do we miss out on increasing the potential of that work?

Born in St Kilda, Rupert Bunny was one of the most successful expatriate artists of his generation; indeed no other Australian achieved the critical acclaim nor enjoyed the artistic affiliations which Bunny experienced in Paris in the decades around the turn of the century. #NGV – at Melbourne, Victoria

Mental health is a serious issue for college students, so we partnered with the largest college mental health charity to spread awareness & change the discussion about it. Here is a thread of hand illustrated art showing a story of my own mental health journey:
After writing a suicide note to his family, Nathan Tomlin received an unprompted message from one of his friends, telling him she loved him and missed him. Nathan is alive today because his friend reached out. Thanks @MovemberAUS for the story. See also news.com.au/national/victori…

Mental Health Unmasked. I love the results of this collaboration between our school counselors and Mrs DeCaro’s art classes. You can’t always judge a person’s #mentalhealth by how they look or act - here’s what mental health looks like when people take off their mask.
