SUMMARY:Creative Rest & Recovery | A Creative Mindset Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:What does your creative work need from you right now? \nThis 60-minute online masterclass with writer\, editor and creativity coach Meg Dunley explores the relationship between rest\, attention and creative practice. Drawing on neuroscience and writing experience\, Meg will explore why creative thinking needs both focused attention and periods of more open thought\, how to recognise creative depletion\, and why stepping away can sometimes help us return to our work with greater perspective. \nParticipants will also explore practical ways to pay attention to their own creative rhythms. \nMonday 5 October 2026\, 12.30–1.30pm\nOnline via Zoom\n$22 (GST incl) | Free for members

SUMMARY:Pip Williams and Toni Jordan in conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to offer you this once in a Melbourne springtime opportunity to hear from award winning Pip Williams chat with Toni Jordan about her new book\, The German Ward.\n\nFrance\, 1915. An English nurse and German doctor fall in love. He is a prisoner of war; she has never cared for rules. Their love is visceral and urgent\, forbidden and doomed\, and it would have gone unrecorded if not for a series of drawings found more than a century later. At first the drawings seem insignificant\, but the woman who finds them glimpses moments of intimacy and can’t look away. The images become part of a puzzle she wants to solve: who were the lovers\, what became of them\, and what story of war was the artist trying to tell?\n\nThe love story of the year\, The German Ward is a breathtaking tale of love between enemies behind the lines of WW1 and the Australian artist who captures their secret.\n\nTickets\nGeneral: $65 per person\, includes a signed first edition of The German Ward\nConcession: $55 per person\, includes a signed first edition of The German Ward

SUMMARY:Troy-Anthony Baylis in conversation with Bryan Andy
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the release of Troy-Anthony Baylis’ Let It Bleed\, Troy-Anthony will be in conversation with Bryan Andy. \nTroy-Anthony Baylis is a descendant of the Jawoyn people from the Northern Territory and also of Irish ancestry. He was born in 1976 and has been creating works of art since 1993. His multifaceted artistic practice is founded in the process of ‘queering’ and unsettling ‘traditional’ ways of representing Aboriginality. \nThe artistic practice of Troy-Anthony Baylis has included performances\, videos\, paintings\, collages\, assemblages\, photography\, knittings\, embroidery\, artist multiples\, costumes\, installations\, parade floats and more. His work explores a multitude of themes including colonisation\, migration\, trauma\, racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, sadness\, reconciliation\, dark and seemingly self-deprecating humour and unbridled joy. \nOften employing a bold use of colour and typography\, the artist references pop-culture\, art history\, and queer aesthetics across a range of disciplines including visual art\, cinema and literature. In addition to art making\, their creative practice sometimes involves curating\, publishing writing and presenting public talks.
