Lithgow Youth on the Road to Stardom

Thanks to a Youth Opportunities grant from the NSW government, Lithgow City Council will launch the Create Lithgow project on March 27. 

Create Lithgow is a year-long series of workshops for young people who are looking to make a career in the creative industries. Over the next 10 months there will be workshops covering all aspects of the creative industries from song writing and sound production to recording, marketing, running a small business, copyright and legal issues, promotion, stage craft, lighting, videography and various other topics that are relevant to young people launching a career in the creative sector.

Workshops will be facilitated by Centwest entertainment and will tap in to a range of skills, talents and experience in the local area as well as industry professionals from the wider region and around the state and nation.

The first workshop will be facilitated by local Lis Bastian. Lis is formerly the CEO of Arts Out West, Varuna Writers’ House and founder of The Big Fix, Blue Mountains Pluriversity, the Lithgow Sprint and Stop Laughing This is Serious Gallery.

The workshop is for young people aged between 12 and 25 who are excited about the creative industries.  Join a group of passionate young people who are committed to exploring the world creatively and making the world and our community a better place through the creative industries. Workshop #1 will take place on Saturday March 27 from 10:00am – 4:00pm at the LINC hall, 1 Padley Street Lithgow.
