RANSW will hold six online sessions for our Rural Innovator members to provide profesional development and networking opportunities to artists and organisations that are leading the arts-led regeneration efforts in their towns. Over six sessions, we’ll hear from leading industry professionals, explore practical tools for arts-led regeneration, and connect with fellow regional artists and organisations.

These sessions are free and only available to RALLY: Rural Innovators. If you would like to learn more about this program or apply to join, click here.
