This week, the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) officially announces the launch of ‘Artscareer’, a brand new, independent, non-commercial, online portal dedicated to the career development of artists and art educators. It encompasses a number of artistic disciplines – dance, drama, inter-arts, literature, media, music, visual arts. Artscareer is the one stop shop for everything needed to pursue and develop a career in the arts.

The MCA has relaunched the Resound, a program which links pledges and donations of musical instruments with musicians of all ages and ability who have lost instruments in natural disasters such as floods and bushfires.

Resound started in the wake of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires and delivered 250 musical instruments to grateful musicians who had been affected by bushfires. It will now work to provide instruments for victims of the recent floods.
