About Creative Country
The arts have the power to connect people beyond geographic, social and cultural borders and play a pivotal role in education, health, wellbeing, identity and inclusion in Outback NSW. Creative Country have shared visions of rich, diverse, cultural landscapes. We work with individuals, organisations and government to generate, promote and advocate for the arts and creative industries in their areas. In Creative Country, the arts is intrinsic to an engaged, responsive, and resilient society.
Outback Arts is the regional arts development organisation representing the Shires of Bourke, Brewarrina, Bogan, Cobar, Coonamble, Walgett and Warren and all their associated communities.
The region prides itself on being the place where the Outback begins, with vast open woodlands and plains stretching to the edge of the grasslands, and the tributary and distributary waterways of the Upper Murray Darling Basin converging within the area.
This site is presented by Outback Arts and is funded through Regional Arts Australia’s Tourism Generator Fund and CreateNSW’s RESTART initiative with the aim of building cultural tourism.
