Southern Tablelands Arts is in planning mode!

We are setting our future strategic directions and considering how we, as an organisation, can contribute to the arts and cultural fabric of the NSW Southern Tablelands, including Wollondilly, Wingecarribee, Goulburn Mulwaree, Upper Lachlan, Yass Valley, Hilltops and Queanbeyan Palerang.

We would love to know what you think. As a creative practitioner, producer, presenter, local council, community organisation, subscriber to our e-news, an audience member, you are a key stakeholder in this process. You are one of the people we need and want to hear from.

The results of this survey will be taken to our Board and used to develop our strategic directions for the next 5 years.
