Does 19 “impressions” just mean 19 people scrolled past the post?

Such big, bold, colourful theatre sets built by Janet Francis.

It was a huge day at the theatre from bump in to bump out. But we did it! Check out these images of “Zietta & The Little Larrikins” at Redcliffe Entertainment Centre! Thanks to all who attended last weekend!

It’s weird how posts about “AI replacing artists” often get more likes and shares than actual art made by real humans. Maybe supporting artists isn’t just posting/raging about AI. Maybe it’s actually engaging with the humans already creating stuff.
