The AYMC is involved in a major project alongside the Music Council of Australia, National Association of Visual Arts and others.  It’s an Arts Career resource, with information for those of us who want to have a career in the arts. The Arts Career portal, soon to be completed, will have general information and links to more specific information, while we’re involved in the Music Careers site.

Stay tuned for more info!  The Arts Career site will be up soon at artscareer.com.au
