Regional Arts Services Network

The Regional Arts Services Network (RASN) is a state-wide network of providers who, supported by the State Coordination Office, are working together to deliver on-the-ground arts services in their communities across Queensland. As part of the newly established Network, Queensland Music Festival (QMF) has been appointed as the provider for the State Coordination Office (SCO). The SCO is responsible for state-wide planning, communications and connecting the regions to arts funding opportunities. RASN was developed in response to consultation with more than 330 stakeholders across Queensland and addresses the consultation’s key findings: to prioritise local needs, build sustainable networks and establish relationships between regions, artists and companies. Together, RASN aims to drive regional development across Queensland by working in collaboration with local arts sectors, community and key stakeholders to determine specific arts and cultural priorities within the regions. RASN providers: • Access Community Services (Ipswich and Logan) • Central Queensland University (Central Queensland) • Creative Arts Alliance (South-East Queensland North) • Empire Theatre Projects (South-West Queensland) • Red Ridge (Western Queensland) • Queensland Music Festival (North Queensland) • TBC (Cape York and the Torres Strait) • Arts Queensland (Far North Queensland)
