intro
Igniting creativity, amplifying connection—an evolving home for culture, conversation, and creative opportunity for young people in Northern NSW and SE QLD.
In a world overwhelmed by digital noise, curated personas, and increasingly inauthentic online spaces, the need for genuine connection and creative community has never been more urgent—or clearer.
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.**A space to explore new perspectives, find collaborators, gain clarity, and feel creatively recharged. We’re not just creating events. We’re creating a creative culture—together.
