INTRO
In a world saturated by digital noise, curated identities, and increasingly inauthentic online spaces, the need for genuine connection and creative community has never been more urgent—or more evident. Our purpose is to create spaces where people come together through creativity, shared ideas, collaborative making, and meaningful, authentic connection.
Pitch & Progress is a new kind of gathering space—a third space for young people for artists, musicians, producers, makers, and creative professionals. It’s part seminar, part social club, part creative dojo: a rolling think tank, professional playground, and collaborative studio designed for those who shape culture and crave more than another networking night. At the intersection of music, art, performance, design, tech, and storytelling, this is where creativity meets real conversation—and where momentum turns into action. Designed as a hybrid gathering space, co-working space, and creative collaboration hub, Pitch & Progress is built for young creatives and the broader creative community. We’re starting in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast—two regions rich with creative energy yet underserved by consistent infrastructure. At the heart of the platform are two foundational components: The Social Commons, a new permanent venue featuring soundproof studios, co-working zones, residency pods, event spaces, and a creative café; and The Co Create Program, a 12–14-week seasonal residency-in-action supporting collaborative development, emotional sustainability, and long-form creative growth. Maybe you’re releasing your first EP. Designing a fashion line. Brewing a tonic or launching a zine. Building a web app. Building an AI tool or growing your first audience. Starting something from scratch, joining another creative’s project, or finally pushing your idea out of the notes app and into the world. Wherever you’re at, Pitch & Progress is where you’ll meet the people who get it. This is a space to unpack the big, significant things shaping our industries—from mental health to monetisation, AI to accessibility. A space to explore new perspectives, find collaborators, gain clarity, and feel creatively recharged.

EVENTS & happenings
A Regenerative Residency for Creative Continuity
Co Create is a 12–14 week creative residency designed for young artists, makers, technologists, and cultural organisers aged 18–35 across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. Built for those navigating burnout, disconnection, or creative fragmentation, it offers a supportive, non-linear alternative to traditional accelerators.
Participants join a seasonal sprint structured around rhythm, reflection, and peer collaboration — not pressure or output quotas. Each cohort is guided through creative development phases with weekly labs, workshops, and communal events, supported by physical space, digital tools, and long-term access.
Co Create supports work across music, design, tech, storytelling, film, visual art, and social practice — with optional learning tracks in AI, entrepreneurship, digital design, and more.
This is not a bootcamp or content funnel. It’s a home base — a space to return, reconnect, and build something real with others.
Program Features
12–14 Week Sprint Residency
Weekly sessions with structured development, open studio time, peer roundtables, and public showcases.
Interdisciplinary Learning Modules
Choose from creative practice, AI & digital skills, entrepreneurship, music, film, visual arts, and more.
Core Events & Community Rituals
Industry sessions, co-creation labs, socials, peer exhibitions, and late-night studio hangs.
Post-Residency Membership
Ongoing access to The Social Commons, Residents Desk, peer pods, events, and re-entry into future sprints.
Young creatives are not short on ideas — they’re short on infrastructure, continuity, and care. Co Create rebuilds the conditions for creative life: rhythm, trust, shared space, and long-term support.
This is regenerative infrastructure for a generation that needs to make — and remake — a cultural future in real time.
