ARTS NORTH WEST RECEIVES $110,000 SUPPORT TO RENEW AND ACTIVATE

On Tuesday, July 11, it was announced that Arts North West received a $110,000 State Government Grant to renew and activate precincts around the Northern Tablelands. This grant is designed to help engage audiences and aid communities in post-Covid recovery.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall met with ANW’s Executive Director Lauren Mackley to discuss the art initiatives that are happening around the region. Arts North West will experiment with indoor and outdoor spaces as venues and explore how to best re-engage audiences in the post-pandemic recovery period.

This funding is planned to be used for a series of regional CBD activations, mapping venues and public art spaces, and providing professional and creative development programs over the next year. This engagement is something that all LGAs serviced by Arts North West will benefit from.
