You can now find the Central West’s big calendar of arts and cultural events over at Culture Maps Central NSW.
What is What’s On? It‘s Arts OutWest’s free, regional calendar of arts, cultural and heritage events, big and small, across the NSW Central West. Last year there were over 3700 events listed. It’s a go-to for locals, visitors and media across the region. We draw from it for our many radio spots and social media content.
Where was it? it use to be housed on the main artsoutwest.org.au website.
Where is it now? We’ve moved it sideways to our other website, our cultural tourism focused Culture Maps Central NSW website at www.centralnsw.com/events
Why? Partly boring techy reasons, partly to make the user experience more streamlined.
The techy reasons: Our Arts OutWest website is older than the Culture Maps site so behind the scenes updates to the calendar plugin didn’t work as seamlessly as they use to. There were issues with the form for users to submit their own events. Moving to a fresher site has fixed these.
For web visitors: Culture Maps is already where people can find interactive maps of public art, galleries and studios, museums and heritage sites, shopping for handmade and Aboriginal experiences. It already linked to the What’s On. The attached Culture Maps Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/culturemapscentralnsw/ is where we share highlights from What’s On. Now people looking for arts and cultural places to go and things to do in the Central West can do all that staying on one site.
What’s On also now has a fresher look with a few more handy functions, quick links and featured events.
The new links you need to know and save:
Find What’s On at: www.centralnsw.com/events
Submit event content at: https://centralnsw.com/whats-on/community/add/
The main old links the artsoutwest.org.au site have been redirected. Old links to individual events (if you happen to have those saved) will need to be updated by visiting What’s On and searching for the event you want.
