To facilitate opportunities that strengthen artistic and creative practice and to increase the access and participation of artists and organisations working in regional communities.” Regional Arts Australia Executive Director said.

Regional Arts Australia looks forward to supporting both rounds of this program, to connect creative practice with critical conversations and to further develop contemporary regional practice across the national arts sector.
