CELEBRATE THE arts in the north west

Artstate Tamworth 2019 will showcase the profound artistic and cultural identity of the North West region of NSW. The Arts Program highlights the region’s rich, cultural Kamilaroi heritage, established artists and a new generation of emerging young artists, through a diverse music program (with some Country, of course), an amazing visual arts program and a celebration of the North West’s writers. Artstate 2019 recognises the ambition and talent of the whole arts and cultural ecology of the North West. It is an event where nationally and internationally acclaimed artists share a platform with tenacious and talented young artists who make North West NSW their home and the location of their professional practice.

Artstate is a four-year project by Regional Arts NSW that shines a light on excellence in regional arts practice, and explores exciting possibilities for arts and cultural development across the state.

The Artstate Tamworth Arts Program will feature artists from the vast creative diaspora of the region who began their practice in the North West and still maintain a strong connection to that place and a deep relationship with the community.
