Hey friend, Season's Greetings from the Tutti team!
This month, Creator features a retrospective film on holiday work parties in 2020 that we think plays out more like a prophecy for December 2021. Takin' Care of Business, we've found some stocking fillers in the form of grants, guides and good ol' fashioned free stuff. And Space Oddity will save your Christmas bacon if you've not yet found anywhere for your work Xmas do. Lastly, a little gift from us and our new partners, MusicGurus, to you.
All the best,
Gabriel and the Team @ Tutti

"One good thing to come out of 2020? The end of work holiday parties."
These are the closing words to Alex Prager's very-short film, detailing her installation: eerily-realistic models of the stereotypical Christmas party characters - there's even Geoff from Accounts on the decks.
The video was made in lockdown 2020 to celebrate the end of such parties but now, at the start of non-lockdown December, it feels like more of a prophecy of what's to come! Check out Space Oddity below for help finding your party venue.
