2024: The year to date

Studio Co!Lab Talks

Between February and June 2024, we’ve hosted 5 monthly talks featuring 12 creatives, including writers, musicians, visual artists, and digital media artists from across Regional NSW—from Baradine to Armidale, Dungog to Leeton and the South Coast, and many places in between. We have a new round of talks coming to finish the year, starting in September. Our Studio Co!Lab members have access to all the talks in full from the Members’ Lounge. To see highlights from past years go to the Studio Talks page.
