Oxford Art, you technologically cultivatory hut, you. As the first trade event of its kind for the creative industries, the inaugural Incubator seeks to provide a playground for innovative artists and industry professionals to demonstrate that 'right place, right time' is as easily constructed as envisioned. With the shadowy undergarments of Sydney's industry hotspot divided into a marketplace of film, music, media, fashion and creative services for what organisers call a 'who's doing what in the creative industries' kind of showcase, the evening seeks to throw directors, producers, distributors, buyers, sales agents, licensees, cinematographers, editors, graphic and web designers, art directors, animators, illustrators, writers, photographers, stylists, singers, musicians, dancers, actors and other creative folk in a Tupperware colander to spin a little sum'sumthin' and encourage a mixing, networking, creative Waldorf.

Run by not-for-profit charity PIIP, this professional evening is a promising sign that Sydneysiders take their creatives damn seriously, as talk of 'syncing deals', 'distribution networks' and 'licensing negotiations', at least promises to raise the amount of pro-fesh lingo bandied about.

With special music performances from KillaQueenz, Nathan Kaye, Cameras, Act Yo Age, Stephanie Brownlee, Mojada, We Are Fans, The Sculptures, Paper Moon (solo acoustic), Mickl Sayers, Skii Harvey, Kempsey, Charmaine Bingwa and showreel screenings to boot, all proceeds of this nurturing little hub of incubation will profit muso2muso and The Filmmakers Fund only to add extra ribbons and twigs to this savvy and snugly-clad nest. Hatch, pretties, hatch!
