Lithgow Council
Thanks to a Youth Opportunities grant from the NSW government, Lithgow City Council will launch the Create Lithgow project on March 27.
Create Lithgow is a year-long series of workshops for young people who are looking to make a career in the creative industries. Over the next 10 months there will be workshops covering all aspects of the creative industries from song writing and sound production to recording, marketing, running a small business, copyright and legal issues, promotion, stage craft, lighting, videography and various other topics that are relevant to young people launching a career in the creative sector.
Workshops will be facilitated by Centwest entertainment and will tap in to a range of skills, talents and experience in the local area as well as industry professionals from the wider region and around the state and nation.

Four new trustees have been appointed at a popular Cockermouth charity as it prepares to reopen to the public later this year.
The four responded to a recruitment drive by Kirkgate Arts and Heritage last autumn.
The charity runs the Kirkgate community venue which is home to a diverse range of social and entertainment activities.
It also runs Cockermouth Heritage Group, Arts Out Wide, an online offering, and Arts Out West, the project that helps village halls put on shows by professional musicians, entertainers, theatre companies and dance groups.
The new trustees are Cockermouth residents Andy Semple and Sue Moses, Nanette Rigg of Blindcrake and Duncan Nicholson of Dearham.
