Welcome to Regional Arts Online. This website contains helpful information and tools for people involved as artists and arts workers in regional Australia.

Regional Arts Australia is the owner and author of this website.

Regional Arts Australia promotes the development of the arts for the one-in-three Australians who live in regional, rural and remote parts of the country.

Our members give country Australians access to outstanding cultural experiences that are home grown or tour from other towns and cities.

In this way, Regional Arts Australia gives a voice to artists and puts culture at the heart of community life across country Australia.

In 2005 Regional Arts Australia conducted a comprehensive national consultation with country Australians concerning the nature, challenges and opportunities of their work in, and aspirations for, the arts in their communities.
