If you’re the kind of person who doodles during Zoom calls, keeps a Finsta just for your photography, or instinctively wants to re-edit trailers to make them better, clear your calendar – JMC Academy’s Open Day is calling.

Landing in Melbourne this Saturday, May 10th, JMC’s Open Day isn’t your average walk-through-some-hallways kind of experience. It’s a full-blown, high-energy immersion into the world of creative careers – from music and acting to design, animation, film, gaming, audio engineering, and everything in between.

And the best part? It’s completely free.

Step Into a World Built for Creatives

JMC is one of Australia’s leading creative education providers, with studios that look more like professional production houses than classrooms. On Open Day, they’re throwing open the doors so you can get hands-on with the gear, chat with real students and award-winning lecturers, and even jump into mini workshops to see if your future might just start here.

Whether you’re a school leaver, a career-changer, or someone who’s been quietly mastering Logic Pro in your bedroom, this is your chance to see what’s possible.

What to Expect

  • Live student performances across audio, music, and acting
  • Industry-standard studios and facilities open for exploration (hello, 4K film cameras and Dolby Atmos setups)
  • Time to meet the creative expert mentors behind JMC’s creative courses
  • Short, snappy workshops so you can try your hand at animation, design, songwriting, or tv production
  • A full lineup of Q&As, campus tours and panels

Not Just for the Artsy Kids

What sets JMC apart isn’t just the gear (though it’s pretty damn impressive). It’s the fact that their courses are built around how the industry actually works – so you graduate with real-world skills, a network, and a portfolio to prove it. It’s fast-tracked, practical, and refreshingly un-university.

Cancel Your Plans

If you’ve ever wanted to work in the creative industries – this is your green light moment. Come for the curiosity, leave with a clear sense of what’s next. Or at the very least, walk away inspired, caffeinated, and with a few new ideas.
