Creative Pathways continue this September
The Creative Pathways team are back in the Central West in September with brand new creative workshops, including computer games development, digital DJ, film making, illustration, music production and graphic design.
The team will be collaborating with Blackall State School to present the second annual Arts Appreciation Evening.
“Contributing to local events is really important to us,” said Creative Pathways Coordinator, Brooke Newall. “It is a way of connecting our program to the wider community and to demonstrate to young people the value of partnerships.”
The whole community is invited to the Blackall State School Arts Appreciation Evening that will happen at the Blackall Cultural Centre on Thurs 9 Sep, 6pm. The event will include an art gallery, music and theatre performances, a film display and more. All work created by Blackall State High students, Creative Pathways participants and the wider community.
“This event will not only be about celebrating the work on display,” suggests Brooke, “but about encouraging more young people to explore the arts and creative industries.”
On Monday 6 September, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, young people in Blackall can come to the Memorial Hall to get involved in workshops in computer games development, digital DJ, film making, illustration, music production and graphic design. The workshops then continue on Tuesday and Wednesday from 3.30pm until 5.30pm.
In Blackall, young people can also participate in graphic design workshops from Friday 10 until Sunday 12 September. Through the employment of a local designer and client liaison the Design Hub endeavours to deliver professional design services for clients in Central West Queensland. The Design Hub initiative is currently being developed by Creative Pathways, in collaboration with Blackall-Tambo Regional Council and CICADAS.
The Creative Pathways team then makes their way to Longreach where young people can similarly participate in computer games development, digital DJ, film making, illustration, music production and graphic design on Friday 10 September at Longreach State High School and on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September at the Longreach Youth Club from 11am until 4pm.
In addition to workshops, Creative Pathways will continue with the Young Entrepreneurs Program, supporting young people’s ideas for enterprise projects.
“We’re really keen to continue working with young people who have a vision for some form of community project, event or even a micro-business,” outlines Brooke. “Even if you don’t have your own concept, you can still participate and learn great skills to develop and launch a business idea.”
Young Entrepreneurs is about helping young people to better understand and develop skills in enterprise by focusing on social enterprise opportunities that can provide some benefit to the Central West.
Creative Pathways creative workshops, enterprise program and showcase series is currently supported by: The Tim Fairfax Family Foundation, Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund, Blackall-Tambo Regional Council, Blackall State School, Longreach State High School, Regional Arts Fund, CICADAS and Human Ventures.

Creative ideas become reality in the Central West
Young people in Central West Queensland are increasingly being described as ‘creative’ and ‘enterprising’ thanks to the continuing work of Human Ventures (formerly SpeakOut) and the Creative Pathways in the Central West program.
Emerging from the program, in June this year, was the inaugural Shockwave Youth Arts Festival (Shockwave). Supported by the Human Ventures team, Shockwave was conceived and coordinated by young people from the Central West region and was extremely well received and attended by more than 200 people.
