Community organisations, social enterprises, Local Government Authorities and independent creative & cultural practitioners working collaboratively to create connected, inspired and vibrant communities in the Southern Forests & Valleys region.
Who are we? Where are we? What do we do? And why?
Southern Forest Arts manages the Southern Forests & Valley Arts Hub.
We are based in Northcliffe, but connect with organisations, LGAs and independent across the Shires of Boyup Brook, Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Manjimup and Nannup.
We are part of the emerging Regional Arts Network, an initiative of Regional Arts WA to create an avenue where the sector can connect, collaborate and share information across the State.
The Regional Arts Network is still emerging, and is working towards growing a sustainable and thriving ecosystem of connected creative regional communities that engage with their local community, local governments and key stakeholders to drive state-wide collaborative projects and conversations.
