Artstate is a new four year project by Regional Arts NSW to shine a light on excellence in regional arts practice and to explore the exciting possibilities for arts and cultural development across the state.
The inaugural Artstate, in partnership with Arts Northern Rivers, is being launched in the Lismore Quadrangle on 30 November. A free program of events and performance will continue in the Quadrangle for the next 3 days.
A 2 day program of speakers exploring the themes of creative practice and creative partnerships will be held at Lismore City Hall, Lismore Regional Gallery and other locations throughout the CBD. Wrapping around this will be a multi-genre arts program featuring the amazing creatives from the north coast of NSW in a range of venues throughout the city.
