Testimonials

  • Amanda Hinkelmann

    “Eastern Riverina Arts provided me with a wealth of support and direction during a recent project of mine. The expertise, knowledge and community links were immensely valuable for me as an Aboriginal artist - supporting fair and equitable access to resources and guiding best practice in the arts.”

    Because of my Four

  • Dane Simpson

    “Through the help of Eastern Riverina Arts I have been able to gain a national profile as a comedian while continuing to live in the Riverina with my friends and family. During the pandemic they helped me to navigate funding opportunities to help me stay afloat during a really tough time, and over the years they have helped me grow as an artist in knowledge and experience in lots of different ways.”

    Dane Simpson

    Comedian

  • “Renew Wagga is giving artists like me a start. Today I am open for business, my art is on the walls and I have already made several sales. I actually have accounting software and thanks to Eastern Riverina Arts and the Business Enterprise Centre realise that a business plan involves more than “paint the pictures, sell the pictures, buy more paint”! This is literally a dream come true.”

    Maggie Deal

    Little Yellow House Gallery

  • “Managing an art project was not something that I had ever done before. Thankfully, Eastern Riverina Arts was there to help me negotiate everything from what type of contract to use through to when to step back and allow the artist to exercise their poetic licence in the design. What resulted was an amazing collaborative project.”

  • The support provided to my business by Eastern Riverina Arts over the past 5 years has been pivotal in our resilience, success and growth. The organisation is full of outstanding creative professionals, each with their own experience and skills, but all eager to share advice and contacts to help the sector grow together.”

    “The Australia Council hosted several key events and leadership programs in Wagga Wagga in 2021. This would not have been possible without the local knowledge, commitment, and guidance of Eastern Riverina Arts. Tim and the team were a dream to work with and we thank them for their critical work advocating for the arts and the Eastern Riverina region.”
