Symbiosis, Unexpected Alliances for the Arts

With Ben Wollen, Harrison Hall, Tanya Van der Water and James Winter.
Rising environmental, economic and real estate pressures on artists and small businesses mean it's more important than ever for creative communities to work together. It’s clear we need to find sustainable solutions for creative studios and venues that enrich our communities and reflect our stories back to us, and that some of these solutions may be found in unexpected places.
Which venues, spaces and unlikely collaborations remain unexplored? What mutually beneficial relationships can we build across industry, small business and the arts? What makes a ‘venue’?
This Creative Dialogues event was recorded in June 2025.
