Billie No.1

Free Content Creation Course in Whangārei and Northland

Content creation is a real creative career now, and most people teach themselves badly. The programme teaches photography, social content, podcasting and short-form video properly, with free access to gear and people who do it for a living.

Whangārei is Northland’s only city and the gateway to the Bay of Islands. The Hundertwasser Art Centre and Wairau Māori Art Gallery opened on the Town Basin in 2022, and the region’s coastline, forests and marae give it a look nowhere else in the country has. The programme is open to emerging artists from Whangārei. Get in touch to find out what is running and how to take part from there.

What’s included

Members create content for real EYWA and Billie projects, not just practice pieces.
