Townsville is going to host the Inaugural Northern Australian Arts Fest!

[Harshmellow @HarshmellowMD]

We always have a blast at Strand Ephemera and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, and couldn't get enough of Festival 2018 this year - so we can't wait to see how the Northern Australian Festival of Arts builds on these already world-class events! https://t.co/Tg5i9U5CRx

Here's a thoughtful comment from today's THINKWELL workshop: It's not about performance, it's about potential. When we start and finish work in the last 2 days before a deadline, how much time do we miss out on increasing the potential of that work?

Born in St Kilda, Rupert Bunny was one of the most successful expatriate artists of his generation; indeed no other Australian achieved the critical acclaim nor enjoyed the artistic affiliations which Bunny experienced in Paris in the decades around the turn of the century. #NGV

Mental health is a serious issue for college students, so we partnered with the largest college mental health charity to spread awareness & change the discussion about it. Here is a thread of hand illustrated art showing a story of my own mental health journey:

After writing a suicide note to his family, Nathan Tomlin received an unprompted message from one of his friends, telling him she loved him and missed him. Nathan is alive today because his friend reached out. Thanks @MovemberAUS for the story. See also https://t.co/FWkigJMbHu
