Dear Subscriber,
Well I have almost made in through my first month and I must say that I am settling into the job very well. I am throughly enjoying zooming about the regions and meeting many characters along the way. Thank you to all those who have wished me a warm welcome and to those whom I haven't yet bumped into I hope to meet soon. November is jammed packed with a multitude of events including the Long Paddock workshops and Oral History workshops in the Berrigan Shire. Listed below is just a token of what’s on, to see it all, visit our Events Calendar.
Keep an eye out for Fund It!, our monthly funding e-bulletin that will arrive in your inbox mid-month. It lists some highlights from our online Funding Database, an excellent resource for artists and community organisations.
Enjoy your arts.......
