Making way for sustainable touring in the Riverina.
The Riverina Touring Network is a group of venues collaborating together to bring local and interstate artists on tour in our region.
Beginning as a two year project funded by Create NSW and the Regional Arts Fund, Eastern Riverina Arts will coordinate a series of performing arts tours around the Eastern Riverina region. Ultimately the project will seek ongoing sustainable collaboration between venues in our region.
By participating in this project, venues will have the opportunity to secure fresh performances and bring national names to their local area. We will also empower local artists embarking on their first tour and help venues develop their capabilities to expand what they can offer.
Project Benefits
COMMUNITY ACTIVATION around regional venues through performing arts
UPSKILLING venues to expand what they can offer
HIGH QUALITY TOURING ACTS including metro and interstate performers looking to tour sustainably
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT a chance to embark on a first tour or to refine performance material
Funding is secured for this project until the end of 2024. This gives venues, artists and Eastern Riverina Arts a chance to explore what is possible when we collaborate on tours. We hope that over the course of the project we will collectively lay groundwork for a self-sustaining tour network, bringing benefits to our region for years to come.
