From behind-the-scenes tech to on-stage talent, JMC Brisbane’s Open Day on Saturday August 16 offers a full-spectrum experience of what it’s like to study and work in the creative industries.

Across music, audio, film, acting, game design and visual communication, this Open Day is more than a tour, it’s an immersive look at your future campus, your future teachers, and your potential future self.
