The Arts, Fashion & Creative Services Working Group was created in 2009 to provide a forum for sharing resources and helping others in similar industries succeed in business. With guest speakers ranging from reputable art experts, to newly emerging fashion players, the group enjoys robust discussions that often continue well after the official close of the meeting. The official launch of the group, with acrobats, art shows and reverse auctions, took place at Kooka Networking Drinks on Friday 25 September 2009.
The future for the group is strong, with activities slated for the future including a continuation of member only roundtables, public Dialogue series, and joint Chamber events, further enhancing the networking and professional benefits for those who participate.
