Artrage Update: Bunk says hi, life members galore, reports and promotions

Welcome Internet best friends!

It has been a busy and exciting few weeks at Artrage with Rooftop Movies starting in 2 weeks and the promotion for FRINGEWORLD less than a month away. 

Recently I have been locating the life members of Artrage and their contact details for event invites and report distributions. It is a lot of research but what I have found really helpful is having contacts. Because Perth is so isolated I have found the arts community to be quite close knit. When I am searching for a person’s contacts I have been using various channels including googling emails or phone numbers, but I found linkedin to be helpful too. I have also been calling people who have previously been associated with them. Everyone is really friendly and helpful and if they don’t know the exact contact details, many have been kind enough to refer me to another person that would know. I was really surprised that many are more than happy to help an intern out with updating databases.

With Artrage itself the office has grown with two new members arriving last week, they are all so nice and it is lovely to see everyone in the office accommodating the newbies so well. Bunk is still lazing around chilling like a villain in the office.

Rooftop Movies opens next week, with the launch on the 1st of November celebrate the return for a 2013/14 summer season. The event looks to be a casual event with a few guests with a showing of David Lynch's Wild at Heart. I am so excited for Rooftop Movies, and I am already noting which movies to go and watch, have you?

FRINGEWORLD 2013 Report has been printed and I have been finding the contact details for life members so we can send them copies. In the report it was conducted from research and post surveys and is filled with information from this year’s event. It is an interesting read with things like the benefits it brought to Perth and the influence it has. If you are keen to read it you can find it here. There was a lot of envelop sticking, paper cuts and boxes of reports but I pushed through. I really enjoyed the document and I really liked how FRINGE is making it available to the public. I think it does help engage the community more as they can understand the reasoning for Fringe and why it is relevant for the Perth community.

Anyways, thanks internet friends,
Speak soon!
