Perth: The new Melbourne!

Perth is currently under going a bit of a face lift. The surgery involves a bit of a nip and tuck and an injection in the form of fun. By this I mean (and I'm sure many of you have seen for yourselves) small, kooky, fun and stylish new bars and restaurants are popping up everywhere. For example; The Mechanics Institute, El Publico, The Cheeky Sparrow ,Canton lounge and bar and Venn.

This semester I have the absolute pleasure of completing my PR work experience unit at Venn Gallery Perth. Venn much like the name suggests is a combination of overlapping concepts like a Venn diagram. There is a bar+cafe, art gallery and a cute design shop (http://www.venn.net/), if you haven't checked it out yet and you are into art and good coffee I highly recommend you pop in!

I have been completing an internship at Venn since September 2012 and during this time I've completing many tasks including; media release writing, blog writing, Facebook post writing, planning and running events, taking photos at events and of things for the blog, creating competitions and promotions and handling all the media monitoring.

Here are some past examples of blog posts I have written;

This week on Thursday night Venn is having a gallery exhibition opening, gallery opening events are not only a rewarding experience opportunity but massive amounts of fun! Before the event the planning and setting up is a lot of work, but once the guests and artists arrive it’s time to relax and have a couple of drinks (and in my case take some photos of the event).
