overview

The Pilbara Development Commission, in partnership with FORM, delivered a two-day event at the East Pilbara Art Centre in September 2018.

The Forum featured presentations, conversations, and professional development with leading speakers from across Australia and the region.

The Forum program explored:
- City-scale risks in regional spaces;
- Aboriginal philosophies in meaningful design;
- Collective impact and the ‘third space’;
- Branding the Pilbara to capture the imagination of a nation; and
- Cultural heritage as a tourism trump card.

Collaboration, risk-taking, innovation, and ambition.

Jonathon Holloway
| Keynote Address

International festival director Jonathan Holloway has an established reputation for the presentation of innovative and high-profile arts programs in festivals from Norfolk to Melbourne. He joins us in the Pilbara to discuss designing for the bigger picture and the importance of risk-taking; how the arts can use place as a canvas and how the scale of arts projects are only limited by the size of the spaces they are held in. In this keynote address Jonathan proposes that the ambition of regional arts programs can match the vastness of space there is to work in.

Measuring What Matters

Outcomes tell the story of the real difference your activities are making to the lives of the people you work with, and the lasting impact they can have. Being able to clearly articulate what these outcomes are then measuring whether or not you are achieving them will help you prove what you are doing works, help you test, learn and iterate to make sure services are effective and also highlight outcomes that were perhaps unexpected or unintended but were of value. Gillian Turnbull, a Director with Social Ventures Australia Consulting team, will discuss her work with Martumili Artists to develop outcomes frameworks and how this might be relevant to other arts and cultural programs.
