To include your event in the regional calendar, send Who, Where, What, When and a contact for further info, to Outback Arts.  This calendar is sent to all Shire webmasters for inclusion on websites and is used for our e-bulletins and magazine 

We tend to go by a broad definition of ‘arts’ and ‘culture’ when talking about events – so don’t be shy to send through info on community/social events of all types…  A race day is cultural - so is a fete or community market day, Landcare or environmental activities, cooking, gardening…a knitting circle, circus, or musical jam session.  Think BROAD!

Fliering – getting your fliers & posters out in the region Click Back

The Outback Arts Regional Arts Development Officer spends a lot of time on the road travelling through the shires of Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar, Warren, Coonamble and Walgett.  If you have fliers, posters or other material you’d like distributed in the region, mail it to the Outback Arts Office and the RADO will be sure to scatter them on her travels. Services, events, festivals, workshops, businesses or expressions of interest...Remember, it’s a big region so please send in plenty of time. 

IDEA – think about sending fliers to Shire front desks or Visitor Information Centres

Contact your RADO today to discuss.
