The Lismore Regional Gallery and the Lismore Museum (Richmond River Historical Society) want to hear from you. If you are an artist, creative, arts worker, business or First Nations person or anyone with an interest in the future of these two organisations it is time to bring your ideas to the table.
They are looking for ideas and thoughts on the short, medium and long term futures for these two key organisations as well as the post-flood impacts on them. The study is being conducted by Overton Creative.
‘For this study to succeed, it’s critical to capture and include the rich knowledge, expertise and perspectives of local, regional and sector-wide stakeholders and communities to cover and consider all broader cultural/heritage infrastructure needs and settings,’ they stated in a press release.
