Arts OutWest builds networks – face-to-face and virtual – to connect practitioners.
These are peer and industry networks for people in the NSW Central West*.
The networks aims to support, inform, find new ways to collaborate, highlight where advocacy is needed, share skills and tips, link people and grow the professional opportunities in the region.
We connect online for now but we’ll also soon have some real-life, in person network meet ups.
Latest news and networking opportunities
Remember how we said we don’t do boring AGMs? It’s true.
Here’s some pics from Arts OutWest’s regional gathering and AGM in Lithgow Sunday June 23.
Talk arts and make connections. Tue 30 June at 10am – 1pm at Millthorpe Creative Arts.
Artists love to see how and where other artists work. Arts OutWest runs a bi-monthly networking event for visual artists called Out of the Studio. Usually held in Blayney or Millthorpe, this month artists were invited to explore two working studio spaces in Orange. Members of Orange Art Society also joined the visit.
Our regular visual artists networking day is taking an excursion: to two very different spaces in Orange.
Tuesday 21 April, 10am-1pm.
