If you love contemporary art, are proactive and dedicated and enjoy engaging with the public, you can apply now to be a part of the 20th Biennale of Sydney:

How will you make a difference?
As a Biennale Envoy you will be the link between the artwork and the public in this unique and incredible atmosphere.
You will have the opportunity to share your passion with open minded and curious public who are visiting to learn more about contemporary art.

Your role will be to engage public in a conversation about various artworks and to answer questions.

Envoys are the reflection of what this exhibition is all about:

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in contemporary art or working/studying in the field to develop their skills and experience or to share their passion.

We’re already a month down and well into the swing of MAP for 2016. I’d like to welcome all of our new students who are commencing Media Arts and Production this year with Exploring Media Arts. Hopefully you’re enjoying your first semester studying what has to be the best major that Communications at UTS has to offer!

 

For those embarking on MAP Major Project, best of luck with getting your productions completed over the next 2 months. If you are in need of a major crew roll to be filled, please contact me at: thomas.grainger10@gmail.com and I will place an advertisement for crew roles that need to be filled, in the coming weeks on this website.

 

 

This is our new and revamped version of MAP News that will be updated on a more frequent basis. Instead of getting the old traditional email once a month or so, we’ll have small but important information and news coming to you on a regular basis through the Media Arts and Production website which you’re currently on.

 

Enjoy the various creative projects you’re working on this semester and don’t forget to help out your fellow students and gain some extra experience. I’m sure you’ll be in need of assistance on your own projects in the very near future.
