Stage 4 - Overview
Celebration & Community
This stage is the culmination of the three previous stages. It is the moment where artists and arts organisations connect with their broader community through presentation of diverse artworks in diverse locations (perhaps an exhibition in a gallery, a film screening, a dance performance, street theatre, a festival feature, a written publication, a public artwork).
It is envisaged that there will be a series of regional launches/celebrations and potentially one or more metro showcases.
The conclusion of this stage will be a final evaluation report, distributed to Mycelium participants, funding partners and other relevant individuals/groups.
