Creatives rejoice! We’ve all been to some killer art and design conferences in the past, so we know just how amazingly inspiring and empowering they can be – well here’s a brand new one to stir up the ideas, passion and motivation that we may have – or have not – been lacking lately..!

Through a collaboration between creative ‘boss lady’ the Jacky Winter Group, who have been representing amazing illustrators across Australasia since 2007, and creative community Australian INfront, comes ‘Field Trip’ – a creative conference doing things in a way that we’ve never seen before!

“Field Trip will feature seven artists from The Jacky Winter Group, artists who work with vector graphics and traditional illustration, motion graphics, photography and 3D, all presenting their work and ways of working in a unique live format.

The bastard child of an outdoor music festival and a live cooking demonstration, each presenter will be performing a unique ‘act’ exclusive to Field Trip to explore the creative process from start to finish. New work will be created from the ground up and existing briefs laid out on a slab and dissected. Mistakes will be made, secrets revealed, and there’ll be collaborations aplenty. Through live video feeds and screencasts, the audience will gain a direct insight into the tools, processes, and thoughts of some of the most successful commercial artists working in Australia today.”

A creative event offering complete insight into the minds and workings of some hugely successful talents? Sounds awesomeeeeeee – see you there!
