Equitable opportunities for regionally-based artists.

Chair of Orana Arts and visual artist, Diane McArthur recently spoke to us in a Studio Co!Lab Talk about why Orana Arts changed its focus in 2020, and how that’s played out over the past 18 months in terms of providing equitable opportunities for regionally-based artists across NSW. Watch the full talk on our Studio Talks page, or find out more about a Studio Co!Lab membership.

Supporting regional artists to spend time on their art.

In 2021 Orana Arts launched its first round of artist-in-residence programs, forming partnerships with the CORRIDOR project and Stuart Town Advancement Association, to provide places and spaces for regional artists to invest time in their art. The 2022 program is now finished, and we’re working on residency opportunities for the year ahead. These are opportunities created for our Studio Co!Lab members, so join us today.

Designed by regionally-based artists for regionally-based artists.
