tbC is a brilliant studio and community platform for young creatives. In my experience, tbC provides a better environment for artmaking than schools or tertiary institutions, mainly because you don't have the same formal structures and constraints like time limitations or periods. You can take the time you need to get into an art groove. tbC is relaxing, supportive and inspiring. It is a perfect place to hang out and create in. I find that tbC’s focus on dedicated collaborative arts practice helps me fast-track my creative practice much faster than if I had remained working alone or just within the school system.
