Regional Arts Podcast

Sharing stories from the heart place

In 2020 I began a learning journey into the world of podcasting

I was supported by a grant from Regional Arts WA (through the Regional Arts Fund - Relief program) to develop my capacity to deliver a podcast series that explores the joys, challenges and stories of contemporary arts practice in Regional Western Australia

We’ll examine individual creative journeys, the dynamics of regionally based arts organisations and the unique communities in which they exist.

 It’s a peek into the current cultural landscape that overlays the 2.64 million square kilometres of WA’s vast and diverse geography.

 I ask is it possible to foster a sense of creative community that is not defined by your postcode of residence, but a common curiosity about what it means to be human and your willingness to express that creatively and/or support others to do so.

Inspired by Mycelium, the hidden network of fungal fibres that nourish life in natural ecosystems, this podcast aims to foster networks of connection between artists, organisations and their communities to grow more meaningful, multi-directional, exchanges of inspiration, wisdom and resources to yield a more resilient & sustainable arts sector, support personal wellbeing and empower more vibrant regional communities.
