What When Where
On Wednesday I got a package from Sydney, which was pretty cool in and of itself, since it’s not every day I get a package from Sydney. Inside were my free Program diary, What When Where, and two Program badges.
What is The Program? The Program is a site that's all about the arts in Australia. You can find out what’s going on around the world’s biggest desert island in terms of exhibitions, performances, events, publications and screenings. You can find out about opportunities for creative participation, funds and media exposure. There are links to the cutting-edgest of cutting edge arts, music and culture sites from around the world. You can sign up for giveaways and win free stuff (like I did).* You can exercise your freedom of speech by submitting a review or article. And there’s info on most of the country’s major arts organisations.
Basically, what the people at The Program have done is they’ve compressed their plethora of arts info into a little, blue, spiral-bound diary called What When Where. Besides being a treasure-trove of essential arts info and resources, the diary is chockers with the work of contemporary Australian artists, and even has two blank pages per month for you to do your own diary art.
You should be able to pick up your copy from your local Australian newsagency. If you can't, make them order it.

*I also won tickets to a film screening on December 18, but I only just found that out.
