Australian Jazz Forum - get involved

Thanks to everyone who attended the Australian Jazz Forum on Saturday 26 September -  over 70 people gathered to discuss ways forward for Australia's jazz sector.

With broad representation from across the nation's jazz community, it was a great way to kick off a collective effort to make sure jazz is properly considered as part of the  upcoming Parliamentary Inquiry into Australia’s creative and cultural industries and institutions.

But Saturday's Australian Jazz Forum was just the start - there are a bunch of things to do over the next few weeks before the Inquiry's deadline of Oct 22nd.

Contribute your voice to this process in one or more ways:


MURAL
​First, please visit the Australian Jazz Forum MURAL digital workspace, which you can both access and contribute to (a sample is pictured above) - you'll find some of the ideas arising from Saturday's Forum, but also you can easily add your own. Look for the quick start tips at the top left and start adding your ideas, thoughts, links, research and inspirations.

SURVEY: Australian Jazz Forum  - feedback & contribute
For anyone with a connection and passion for jazz,  this survey gives you a chance to put your ideas forward to help inform and strengthen the submission I will be preparing over the next couple of weeks.

EMAIL/PHONE
​If its easier to contact me directly, just do it. I can help you navigate around MURAL and/or put up your ideas for you, if that makes it easier. Contact me directly via adam@tuoa.com.au or 0407 803 801


Regardless of the source, MURAL will be updated with new information as it comes in, so keep checking in there as a central point. This crowdsourced document is intended for our shared ongoing use and public access during this process. Let's make the most of what it offers  - and big thanks to Emma Jones for setting it all up for this project.

Kindly
