Move over country music; Artstate Tamworth is capturing our nation’s ear
It’s not regional arts practice; it’s great art practice that happens outside our cities. Artstate Tamworth is cracking open thinking on one of Australia’s largest growing sectors – and it’s happening this October.
Four years ago, the NSW government under then Minister of the Arts Troy Grant, made a decisive choice in how it valued art practice in regional areas, committing $800,000 to promoting excellence in regional NSW.
The outcome was Artstate – part conference, part festival – which over the ensuing four years has been missioned to shine the spotlight on new work being produced outside our cities, but more importantly, to throw regional conversations on the national table.
