Arts North West is thrilled to announce their latest project, Arts Trail Live which will be rolling out across four creative venues in the New England North West over the 17th and 18th of September 2022.
Ceramic Break Sculpture Park Warialda, Yaama Ganu Gallery Moree, Wee Waa Community Arts and Cultural Centre, and the Fuller Gallery/Barraba Potters and Craft Guild will host four local artist facilitators as they deliver a free community workshop.
Arts North West are currently calling for EOIs from local artist facilitators in all genres to facilitate these one-day creative workshop, with $1500 allocated for each facilitator.
"I am so happy to have an opportunity to not only support our regional artists, but bring these unique workshops to gems in our towns and encourage people to travel and visit these really thriving creative spaces," Arts North West Projects Officer Michèle Jedlicka said.
Selected artists will be emerging-professional and must have a primary focus in the arts sector. This includes, but is not limited to visual arts and photography, film, literature, music, songwriting, textiles, ceramics, theatre, dance, First Nations Arts, puppetry, musical theatre, community arts, or experimental arts.
“Artists can preference to work at any of the venues, and some suit specific genres, which could be appealing. Applicants must reside within our New England North West footprint to be eligible, but we do encourage artists to venture out to a community they may have not yet explored," Michèle said.
The project has been made possible by funding from the RAF Cultural Tourism Accelerator program and Arts Trail Live has been designed to encourage arts tourism across the New England North West region, allowing people a chance to take part in a creative activity in one weekend.
