My Bio
Hey! I'm Madison. I'm currently living in Australia.
Off the internet I'm involved with youth and community arts and wanted to bring some of that to the internet. I'm a youth art curator and mentor who has had some amazing opportunities to work with and support some very talented and ambitious individuals. So, I'll tell you about some things I work with (and have previously)

I work with a recurring community project that is art and life mentoring for disadvantaged and at risk youths (aged 12 -25) Majority of these people have faced issues such as drug abuse, poverty, abuse and unstable childhoods which I;m sure you can understand often leads to the same cycles in adulthood. With this program, we work with disadvantaged youths by putting them in homes, offering free education, meals and work. If they choose to pursue this, we (as a NFP organisation) offer more opportunities to those interested in pursuing art as a study or a hobby, we pair them up with professional artists to produce photographic prints and then sell the prints in a professional exhibition. All proceeds go back to the artist me mentored.

Until earlier this year, I was working within a museum with the exhibitions. So I got to take part in a lot of hand on experience working within galleries and exhibitions. I had the absolute privilege of working with some world renown exhibitions and artefacts.

Furthermore, I plan, organise and execute art exhibitions and on occasion, popular music festivals. I also pride myself on having access to up and coming talent around Australia.

I'm essentially here to offer resources to Australian artists. Everything from opportunities, to funding and grants, social media tips and how to generally get yourself out there. So keep an eye out for future posts I'll be making! And if you ever have any questions, shoot them my way.

Hola Guys, By this point i was hoping to have some more stuff up for you all but the real word got in the way, So I'll probably steadily filter out some stuff over the next few days and start having some consistency going. I had recently come across a rad little site that was dedicated to open submissions for zines. For those of you who don't know, zines  .-ze.en (magazine, fanzine) are usually independent publication materials that are circulated within certain areas and community. Usually cheaply produced, black and white and consist of so much photocopying... And can also be about any topic. My favourite is political, feminist, music and
