Join us at the launch of Regional // Regional in Darwin

Join us and special guest speaker, Diat Alferink, for the launch of Regional // Regional: Festival Alliances across Australia and the Indo-Pacific on Wednesday 10th August in Darwin.

Regional // Regional addresses barriers to international engagement for regionally and remotely located festivals and platforms. Designed to seed and support cross-cultural collaborations between Australia and the Indo-Pacific, this program promotes the sharing of insights, long long-term connections and creative exchanges leading to new audience outcomes in regional communities.

We warmly invite you to the launch - to make new connections and strengthen existing ties with the Australian and Indo-Pacific festival community. Places are limited - register today.

On 11th August, 28 organisations and independent producers and directors from across Australia and the Indo-Pacific region will congregate both in person and online for the first meeting to discuss and share insights.

Announcing the Regional // Regional Alliance Members

We are thrilled to announce the members of the Regional // Regional Alliance selected through an open call and invitation process. The Alliance members will be meeting bi-monthly for 2.5 years discussing and sharing insights on the most pressing issues for their regional arts activities. The program aims to re-shape international engagement between Australia and the Indo-Pacific region, fostering closer ties through collaboration and diversifying arts programming.
