Working with Children's Checks are always necessary when, well, working with kids, so I also need to check these in regards to the performance classes. To ensure I could do this correctly I researched jobs that require WWCC's and what a Check entails.

Well, music is fun. Music gets people in a good mood, and creates a great atmosphere. Almost any festival has music events involved. And what better way to celebrate local culture than with some great music acts? These acts serve to further the artistic profile of WA in the national and international performance scene. The involvement of street performers (magicians and the likes) also works towards this. Setting them up at various places around the festival also helps lend a traditional, market fair atmosphere to the wonderful world of Home Harvest. Pert has an abundance of great street performers, so what better way to showcase artistic talent than with our own homegrown performers? Atmosphere and Fun. That's why music and performance are not only helpful, but necessary for our festival.

As someone coming from a creative writing major, I used my writing skills in the community arts project. I recognised the importance of having apt advertising and publication of flyers etc., to get a community arts project known to the public. I therefore, have designed the advertisement flyer for our groups: Home Harvest Fest. I have included a sample of the flyer that would be

used if this project were to go ahead. It includes the important and necessary details that go on all invitations and circulars.

# data[].attributes.body
for this I researched various forms of performance applications, from talent shows to arts events to construct an application form as close to a real application form as possible.

It will be important to include this sort of detail to ensure a memorable website, below I have attached a website I encountered during my research stage, it explains the importance of visual content, rather than soley text.

The website for Splendour in the Grass, is a festival that only functions in the month July every year. When the festival is no longer running, the website is no longer active. On top of the website there is also a facebook page active.
This website has a change of theme every year and is visually intriguing through the use of bright colours and strong direction. The website has a simple layout easy to explore and retain information needed by the consumer. These are some aspects my team will take on board to adopt into the website. It important that we make a visually pleasing site that excites, raises awareness and informs the consumer.

Promotion is the key element in the success of a local event, and what better way to promote our Home Harvest Fest, through the use of online advertising, a website. My role with involve the following:

-To generate excitement

-To raise  awareness

-Ensure attendance

To ensure these following factors are successful, the website of course will have to be aesthetically pleasing. People connect to visual design far more personal, in comparison to text, therefore, more images and less text. The website must be easily accessed, easy flow and direction, it must be able to be accessed from multiple devices, mobile phones, tablet and desktop. As we are trying to attract more than people involved within social media, we feel a website will be far more interactive and reach a wider audience, due to this we will also have a facebook page up and running, although my primary role will be the distribution of the website.

Utilising my performance studies background, I have contributed to the Home Harvest Festival in the role of entertainment manager. My contribution is organising the entertainment for the festival, scheduling the acts and organising the children's performance classes for the festival. This involves checking working with children's checks and making sure the entertainment is of an appropriate standard, as well as collaborating with all performers.

We also made sure, in our group to come up with a place, time and date for Home Harvest Fest. Our group are very passionate and enthusiastic about the commending of local talent. This made working on our community arts project a lot easier.

Our event focuses on applauding the achievements of the local community. These achievements may include the cultivating of fresh produce, local bands, visual artists, writers, theatre talent and street performers. Home Harvest Fest will incorporate these elements for a fun-filled day of festivities, food vans and education/workshops for all ages!

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I researched templates of flyers and how to create a good advertisement for a festival event. I also incorporated appropriate and relevant images and information for/involving Home Harvest Fest.

You don't need to spend a lot of money to make flyers that get attention.

Image source: iStock.com

A flyer is an inexpensive and highly effective way to grab attention in a very busy marketplace. How do you make your flyer stand out in the crowd? Here are some techniques that professional designers use to make flyers "pop."

1. Write a snappy headline or title.

Make it memorable, unusual, or provocative using a few carefully chosen powerful words. Popular titles contain one or more of these words: Easy, The Secrets to, Unlock, Finally, Insider, Time Sensitive, How to, Free Bonuses, Now You Can, Discover, Proven.

2. Use colorful or striking graphics.

One large image will have more impact than many smaller images. A stunning photo or illustration grabs attention, creates a mood, and supports your story. This image is your "focal point" and will draw your readers in. You can purchase inexpensive but quality stock photos on the Internet. Download individual photos or purchase a CD with hundreds of images.

3. Focus on the benefits of your product or service.

Your prospects will ask the question, "What's in it for me?" Write from their perspective using the words "you" and "your." Avoid using the following words: we, us, I, and our. Be sure to keep your text short and to the point. Some of the most powerful words to use are: free, save, love, new, results, and guarantee. Break up long paragraphs with bullet points and place them in a separate box.

4. Use compelling testimonials and case studies.

Nothing strikes a chord like an endorsement from a happy customer, especially if it demonstrates the results they've had with your product or service. Be sure to include the first and last name, company name, and location of the person providing the endorsement.

5. Organize your page with boxes, borders, and areas of contrasting colors.

You don't need to fill your flyer with wall-to-wall text and graphics. Incorporate some white space to make certain elements stand out and to make the flyer easy to read.

6. Make your points easily identifiable.

Highlight titles and subtitles in bold, but avoid using ALL CAPS because they are more difficult to read.

7. Don't get too complicated.

Make it simple with two typefaces, and align items to a grid. Your page layout program will provide non-printing guidelines. Use the "snap to guidelines" function to align items easily to the grid. Be aware of printing margins. I suggest you create your layout with 1/2" margins on all sides or add 1/8" for bleeds on items that print off the edge of the page.

8. Don't forget to proofread.

Have someone else proofread your work. Check your contact information. Dial the phone numbers on the flyer to make sure they are correct, and type in the URL of your website to make sure it is correct, too.

9. If you are on a tight budget, try this.

Select bright-colored or unique paper, and print with black ink. Use shades of grey to provide tones and contrasting background areas.

10. Offer a discount or special limited-time price.

Design a coupon on the bottom quarter of the flyer. Be sure to clearly state the deadlines and limitations of the offer. If it is a mail-in coupon, be sure to include the payment specifications with areas for filling out credit card information, mailing address, etc.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel when creating your flyer. Use these proven techniques and you will see big results in your marketing efforts.

The importance of art in our culture:

The importance of art in our culture:

# data[].attributes.body
The below article describes the importance that art has in both documenting and developing our culture (and all cultures across the globe). This relates seamlessly with the inclusion of artists in the Home Harvest Fest to display and sell their work. By allowing artist stalls in the festival, we are raising awareness about supporting local artists to the community and supporting our culture much like the article reads.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Art in its most simple terms is communication. It is a different medium to express ideas and to share information. From the carpet pattern we have in our house to the commercials on the television, it can be found all around us. In the modern era, we find ourselves so saturated with ideas through various art forms that we gladly tune out much of what we see putting us at risk of missing something wonderful which can impact our lives on a basic soulful level.

Consider for a moment the pictured painting "Summer's Gift" by Anne Kufahl. How has the artist communicated with you about this family situation? Do you feel that it is a familiar scene from your own life? Are you curious about what is in the gift? When you spend some time contemplating the scene does a story begin to form? So with this inner dialogue and consideration the picture the artist has created a story in your head without words, movement or even being present.

Other forms of expression such as language can be wrought with obstacles that can make the message difficult or impossible to interpret. But when we consider the image, movement, music our ideas can overcome the barriers of language and culture to be received, understood and appreciated or rejected. The image allows us to communicate complex emotional concepts in a straightforward and meaningful way. Creating a platform where interpretation depends on both the receiver and the originator making an opportunity where we must stop and consider the ideas presented in order for any message to be received at all.

How often do you think about the art that surrounds you? Do you consider why you are buying that new carpet pattern or why you just bought that monogram piece to hang in your bedroom? Is it because you want to fit into the ideal that the media has told you that you should do? Do you buy because you want to truly express yourself or fit in with the ideal or does that new acquisition feed your spirit because you have made a connection on a deep meaningful level? How often are we numbing ourselves to the point of stagnation? This is a concern we should all consider because we may be missing stories all around us everyday.

The Information Age has yielded wonderful delights and abilities for us to reconnect with our fellow earthlings. Yet somehow the easier it has become for us to communicate, the more isolated we find ourselves feeling. We no longer participate in the local social network of going down to the local pub to get the daily news about our friends and neighbors. We no longer paint on the walls to celebrate the victories of the hunt. Growth and connection with one another is being redefined. The humanity of social interaction is becoming cold, filled with clever memes and pointless posts that we would not usually share with our family over dinner. Now, I'm not saying this new innovation in social media is bad - what I am trying to point out is that we are so much better than this. This new venue for communication is pregnant with the possibilities for us to communicate on a meaningful level. Sharing art is one of those fantastic opportunities. Historically, there has never been a more convenient way for an artist to share their vision with more people who can appreciate the work than there is today.

We are in a uniquely vibrant opportunity which seems to have been pounced on by those who were already adept in communication, the media - but it doesn't have to remain that way. We the people can choose to create our own tribe and share our own vision with the world through this new media. There are whole new worlds to explore if we simply choose to reach beyond the memes and delve deeper into our humanity and truly connect and share the ideas that are soulful. Communication is key to our understanding one another on a more meaningful way and a universal language is art.

If you don't know where to start, try searching for local artists with whom you share at least one thing in common, your culture and if you are an artist - it is your responsibility to share your vision so get out there and post those items that say more than a basic meme. Whether you create your own art or find a piece that speaks to your soul, share, repost, rejoice in the message that you have found. Then consider adding those wondrous images to the spaces in which you live and work. They will continuously reconnect you with their message to everything that makes us human beings in a tangible and uplifting way. Take the time to explore the opportunities. A good place to start your search for an artist is on group sites, where several artists are represented such as http://www.artprintexpress.com a place to acquire affordable fine are prints by Kansas artists or create your own reproduction from your own digital images and to expand your opportunity to share your vision through prints.

Please take a moment to tell us how art is important to your views and our culture.

To utilise the beautiful site of the event, I have designed the art stalls to be dispersed throughout the surrounds. Not only does this encourage the public attending the Home Harvest Fest to walk around the grounds, but it also mixes the art and food and entertainment stalls together to result in a greater diversity in particular areas of the location. This itself can act as an art installation and a journey and experience for those attending.

For artists to become involved in taking part of the Home Harvest Fest, an application form would be necessary. This form must provide all the relevant details of the event such as start times, etc. but also provide specific information regarding transportation of artwork, insurance and stall set up. The form will also be required to ask for personal and art related information. Terms and conditions would have to be mentioned as to create a clear understanding of the rules, regulations and expectations of promoting and selling art at the festival.

How boring would the world be without art? My role in the staging of the Home Harvest Fest is too organise local artists using all mediums, from delicate watercolour paintings to robust steel sculptures, from handcrafted ceramics to screen prints and fashion, to unite in one space to promote and sell their stories, experiences and feelings via artistic expression. In including only solely local artists, the community will be enriched with the culture of the area that we call our home.

To make sure we don’t just waste time and space by simply having social media accounts we have to have an fun and interactive style of social media content. Videos leading up to the event, photos of what’s to come of the event and posting anything possible to make the patron feel part of what’s going on becoming more than just a spectator. Posting clips of the bands to come, posting photos of some of the art, food, fashion that will be displayed giving a small sense of feeling of what they can expect once Home Harvest Fest has begun.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media is one of the outlets to organise any event within young adults Traditional and usually more expensive formats (TV, radio, bus shelters etc) are effective but keeping the idea of our event is to keep is as organic as possible. By that I mean word of mouth is key, there will be cases were we will need to do advertising that isn’t digital but creating an advert that is informative but very importantly clever is important. Having a successful social media campaign can save a fortune and also bring in a fortune if done correctly.

My role in Home Harvest Fest is Social Media Manager, something that if not properly can sometimes make or break (usually break) any business or event. My job is to make sure that event is well publicised and marketed before and even after the event with up to date information posts and samples of whats to come. Advertising space is a must and in our current age social media is vital, here I have created an Instagram account for the event and also a Facebook event page which are just a few examples of where to begin. Hashtags such as #HomeHarvestFest or #HHF and #LoveLocal will be the 3 tags that will be pushed towards promoting the event.

To acquire the space of the park, we have applied for an event through the City of Fremantle. For an event with 50 persons or over, the event needs to be booked three months prior. An events packaged is filled out and sent to the City Council for approval. In holding an event like Home Harvest Fest, certain requirements need to be met to keep the festival under control and minimise risk and loss. Factors such as food and drink stalls, toilet facilities, rubbish, noise, signage, evacuation plans, electricity, risk management, traffic management, parking requirements. As it is not a festival that is charges to attend, security, fencing and charge fees are not an issue. Portable toilets will be provided and the stalls will provide food, water, and alcohol if they please. A liquor license application form was filled out to obtain a license for the day. Attached is the event application via the City of Fremantle, which contains a map of the Esplanade Park being used for Home Harvest. Some photos of the site being used for a concert and for a farmers market are available to give an idea how the space will be used for Home Harvest fest.

# data[].attributes.body
My task was to scout a location for our festival. I thought the Fremantle Esplanade was a large green space that would provide the perfect feel as it contains great facilities for a festival like the Home Harvest. The park offers large grassed areas with enough room to set up stages, food vans, local art stalls, space for activities, room for portable toilets as well as providing public toilets close by, many car parks in close proximity and close to public transport, including buses and train stations. Fremantle holds a significant historical value to the Perth area and is known for its art and creativity. Fremantle appeals to many people through its historical charm and its creative charisma; the city has unique arty vibe you will not find anywhere else in the Perth metro region and is home to the famous Fremantle markets and many hip and trendy cafes and bars. We have agreed to use the Fremantle Esplanade for our festival as being in the center of such a popular area in Perth, it will appeal to many more people if we had it somewhere less popular or accessible. With such a rich community of arts, craft, food and music in Fremantle, we thought there would be no better place within the metro region to hold a festival that is supporting local music, food and arts. The park has held many festivals before; Laneway festival in both 2014 and 2015, Save the Kimberly Concert in 2013 and frequently holds farmers markets monthly, so we knew it would be possible to hold such a large community festival, and it would be a hit.
