Launch – Regional // Regional: Festival Alliances across Australia and the Indo-Pacific

Regional // Regional addresses barriers to international engagement for regionally and remote focused festivals and platforms. The three year initiative is designed to seed and support cross-cultural collaborations between Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The program promotes the sharing of insights, long-term connections and development of strategic initiatives, creative exchange and collaboration.

The program will have direct impacts on arts and cultural activity, knowledge sharing, well-being, audience development and diversity outcomes in local regional and remote communities. Insights and emerging projects will be shared across Australia and the Indo-Pacific through public forums from 2023 and publishing, as well as in new festival co-productions.
