It’s not enough to get information solely online, that’s why in 2015 Just Another consulted Redbubble, an online marketplace, in developing and implementing a range of talks, masterclass and residency programs geared at creatives.
Four creative innovators were invited to share tips and tricks for getting ahead in the industry, at monthly Redbubble Talks. The talks raised the profile of Redbubble as a player in the local artistic scene, while providing valuable insight to the community.
Just Another also coordinated masterclasses run by the agency’s artists on topics such as typography and flash drawing. Through the course of the year, Just Another ran portfolio reviews, giving feedback to aspiring artists. With sold-out courses, the masterclasses were able to engage the local community to teach new skills within their discipline, and encouraged collaboration.
Just Another developed and implemented a paid residency program for three artists at Redbubble’s Melbourne headquarters. The selected artists were required to transform the office space, teach a masterclass and exhibit the work they created during the course of the three month residency. All of the work created was available to be purchased on a range of products, generating additional passive income for the artists. The program provided inspiration and resources to push the boundaries of the residents’ artistic practice and allowed artists to experiment within the world of textile design.
The Redbubble Residency Program continues to this date.
