The Central Queensland Regional Arts Services Network (CQRASN), in conjunction with the South Burnett Regional Council, South Burnett Arts Inc and Bega Cheese, is offering the exciting professional development opportunity for artists living in the CQRASN catchment area.
The two-day Animation and Projection Workshop will be held on August 3-4 at the South Burnett Enterprise Centre in Cornish Street.

The workshop will be led by Donna Maree Robinson, an award-winning multimedia artist who is based in Mackay.
