Research begins for multicultural arts in NSW

Groundswell is now working with Communities Arts NSW for the establishment of a 'peak advocacy body', and arts policy covering Multicultural Arts. An independent researcher will be engaged to do the study and we are seeking the support of independent artists, arts workers and organisations to help make this happen.  


If you want to express interest in being contacted for the research — or just keep up with our activities and be on the mail list — please fill in our micro-survey, it's only 3 questions!
