Minding Creative Minds to hold October Meet & Greet and other events

Irish creatives are once more invited to take part in the Minding Creative Minds (MCM) online meet and greet session, which takes place Monday, October 19 at 8pm. Registration is required, which you can do here.

The upcoming monthly meet and greet session offers a space for creatives and artists to learn from each other's experiences, opening important conversations with their peers in an effort to revive the arts sector.

Additionally, on October 7 at 1pm, MCM will hold the interactive workshop held by Rebecca Fountain, where she will discuss the role of online platforms in promoting a creative brand, including how creatives can use social media platforms to strengthen their visibility, reach new audiences, and grow their creative careers. Sign up here.

As always, those attending the MCM meet and greet set the agenda. Each informal meeting follows its own course while providing a platform to source core information about Minding Creative Minds and their initiatives.

This month's meet and greet will once again be hosted by Ann Marie Shields, MCM Director and Careers Manager with BIMM Dublin Creative Futures.
