CQ SHOPFRONT<br />
<strong>Flying</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> and Idea’s Distillery partnered to provide business skill<br />
development workshops for the <strong>2020</strong> CQ Shopfront Project in Bundaberg,<br />
Rockhampton and Mackay. This project engages local artists to develop a<br />
range of handmade products that are unique to the Central Queensland<br />
region. The outcome of the project is to mentor local artists to develop a<br />
product range that can be sold in retail outlets, and be available at regional<br />
and public galleries and tourist information centres.<br />
This program was originally planned as face-to-face workshops, but<br />
transitioned to online workshops during COVID-19 lockdowns.<br />

Professional, informative,<br />
current and succinct. The guest<br />
speakers were brilliant — so<br />
inspiring! I hope to transition<br />

arts biz, I now have a clearer<br />
destination and a pretty<br />
detailed map.<br />
