Canberra Benefits

20-29 March 2026

UPSTAGEING is Canberra’s first Creative Ageing Arts Festival, celebrating the bold, brilliant, and diverse creative expression. Featuring performances, exhibitions, arts workshops, and plenty of opportunities to get involved in arts activities. Created by, for, and with older people.

Spanning visual arts, theatre, music, dance, film, and beyond, UPSTAGEING champions artistic excellence, inclusive practice, and the health and wellbeing benefits of creativity in later life.

Photographer Peter Hislop is offering a practical Working With Concert Photographers workshop for musicians, presenters and arts organisations. Participants will learn how to brief photographers, navigate lighting and venue challenges, and manage image use, copyright and archiving for long-term impact. The session runs approximately three hours and can be delivered for groups of any size.
