Background

Seeded builds on the success of our earlier publications of great arts stories, including Big Story Country (2008) providing a permanent reminder of the powerful role of the arts in the heart of regional Australia.

At least 4,000 copies of this new volume will be distributed across Australia to government, media, arts and health leaders and workers, and the general public.  It will be a way of sharing our stories with Australians everywhere.

This project has been assisted by the Regional Arts Fund, an Australian Government initiative supporting the arts in regional, remote and very remote/isolated Australia.

The book was written by Moya Sayer-Jones, of Only Human Communication, author of our previous book Big Story Country: great arts stories from regional Australia.
