Testimonials:
"This is just what the field has been wanting for. A monthly gathering where you can come together, hear about the work of others and share your own experiences as a CAT. The professional challenges and positive experiences. I think it's excellent." Julie McDonald
"Saturday afternoon food for the creative spirit and fodder for the inquisitive questioning minds of passionate pioneers!!" Carla van Laar
"Meeting with Friends of ACATA. I found an afternoon with warm, friendly faces and like-minded creative people in a cozy corner of the world - inspirational, interesting, fun and uplifting. I even gained some clarity regarding my professional direction just by having a chat about future possibilities. All in all I ask myself, why wouldn't I go again? Next time I will fit in a gallery or two before coffee with 'Friends of ACATA'." Lee Agius
"I always learn so many amazing new things when I come to CATs in Conversation. I am challenged to think outside my little square and filled with inspiration when I hear what other CATs do." Helen Sawyer
"Satisfying." Tim Bourke
