Junction 2010, the much anticipated seventh Regional Arts Australia national conference, is calling for expression of interest for concepts, speakers and presentations.
Presented in partnership with Tasmanian Regional Arts and the host community Launceston, Junction 2010 is set to unleash an explosion of ideas and creativity.
Taking place in the beautiful city of Launceston, Tasmania from August 26–29, 2010, delegates will engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conference program and arts festival that celebrates, connects and challenges.
Expressions of interest are invited from people working in the arts, including volunteers, or other sectors that work within regional Australia, such as social entrepreneurs and researchers, for projects and presentations that respond to the conference core themes of Footprints, Threads, Resilience and Momentum.
Junction 2010 conference coordinator Angela Driver urges artists, researchers and thinkers to present their ideas, practice or event in creative ways that are inclusive, innovative and engaging.
“Presentations can range from five to 90 minutes and can take any format including debates or panel discussions, development workshops, networking events, performances and staged events, exhibition/installations and/or interactive acts of expression.
We invite applicants to think outside of the square and develop new ways of connecting the audience with information that is participatory.”
Submissions close Thursday December 10th, 2009 and details of the conference program will be announced in March.
