Something To Talk About
Arts North West is developing a project called ‘Something to Talk About’ which will include a series of pop-up events where projections, roaming murals, yarnbombing, live music, and art workshops come together to activate the CBD's of the region.
WHY DO WE NEED ‘SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT’?
After years of drought, fire, floods, plagues and COVID, Arts North West and Create NSW acknowledge the need for communities to recover, restart and reconnect. ‘Something to Talk About’ aims to create spaces for regional communities in the New England North West to sample different types of activations through a series of ephemeral pop-up events. This project also aims to increase economic opportunities for creatives, create a platform to showcase our regional artists and increase foot-traffic into our regional CBD’s and accompanying businesses while boosting the night-time economy. We aim to create a space to have conversations about future CBD Activation projects in the New England North West and better understand how can support each community to reflect their own sense of identity, create spaces for a tangible sense of belonging as well and increase the vibrancy and creative ecology of the region.
