We have certainly been criss-crossing the New England North West this quarter - from artist residencies in Wallabadah to family arts festivals in Glen Innes. While some of our focus has naturally been on Tamworth (and artstate) we have been very conscious of making sure that our whole region has been represented. Read up on our projects - Art Connections and Art Word Place which were part of the artstate program. Arts North West continues to provide advice and support to artists and arts organisations across the region. We are also fortunate to be part of a key network of regional arts development organisations, who meet three times a year for high level strategic discussions and networking sessions with metropolitan arts organisations and funding bodies. Our Board meeting was held in August in Tamworth, and we look forward to our November meeting in Narrabri.
