Across the Eastern Riverina, artists, festivals, museums, venues and creative organisations are doing extraordinary work, often with limited resources and small teams.
Eastern Riverina Arts exists to support creative energy and enterprise in the region.
From professional development for artists and creative practitioners, to supporting community-led organisations, festivals and creative enterprises, Eastern Riverina Arts works behind the scenes to help creative ideas grow into sustainable projects, organisations and experiences.
By connecting people, places and opportunities across the region, we support the development, presentation and long-term sustainability of creative work in the Eastern Riverina.
