Orana Arts is a Regional Arts Development Organisation (RADO) based in Central West NSW. Our work in the regional arts sector of NSW aims to ELEVATE the status of artists and organisations in Regional NSW beyond their local area; EXTEND the practice of regionally-based artists and cultural organisations, and; INCREASE the participation of the artists and cultural organisations in the creative economy.

Studio Co!Lab Talks 2024

Across 9 talks by 25 creatives, we've had talks covering the role of arts in creating change, and engaging more men in the regional arts sector, to creative residencies, the rules of collaboration, art and science intersections, the role of research in creative practice and sharing stories through song, to the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the arts—and more!

Enjoy these highlights and then join us in 2025 for more Studio Talks. Our Studio Co!Lab members have access to all the talks in full from the Members’ Lounge. Non-members can watch some of these talks in full as well as highlights from past years on the Studio Talks page.
