About ArtStart:
The ArtStart NSW Youth Arts and Skills program (ArtStart) is
an initiative of the NSW Government designed for young
people aged 12 to 24 years in New South Wales.
The program provides
opportunities for young people to develop skills through
participating in arts and cultural projects as well as
performing and exhibiting their work during a two week
festival period, held every second year.
Outback Arts' role:
Every 2 years Outback Arts, along with a number of other
Regional Arts Boards (RABs) across the state, applies to be
a regional coordinator for the biannually held ARTSTART
Youth Arts & Skills Program. Application is made in
partnership with our regional neighbours West Darling Arts
(covering Broken Hill, Wentworth, and the unincorporated
area of NSW). The combined regions (West of the Darling and
Far West) cover an area approximately 342,000km squared.
ArtStart was established in 1991 as a strategic response to
the significant body of evidence showing that participation
in arts and cultural activities is an effective way to
re-engage young people in education and training.
ArtStart is managed by TAFE NSW Access and General Education
Curriculum Centre. The program relies on community
partnerships and networks operating at both state and
regional levels. These networks include the community,
cultural and youth sectors, schools, training and tertiary
sectors.
