Guildhouse Greets
Guildhouse Greets is an initiative in response to our creative community’s needs, as a direct response to the 2023 Sector Survey, with our community asking for more connectivity and breaking down barriers between individual artists and sector organisations.
This free program is open to all artists thanks to our generous Creative Associate donor program.
