Resources
Creative incommunities provides resources for regional arts champions through its online resource site, ArtsYakka.
ArtsYakka
ArtsYakka is QAC’s online resource of practical information, guides, advice, tools and ideas to inspire regional communities to get creative.
It is designed especially for regional Australians to access a one-stop-shop of ‘How To’ manuals, ideas, guides, tips, case studies and templates and links to other useful websites to help develop their communities’ creative experiences and community engagement. The site provides a place for all the information needed for regional arts projects to be readily accessible – from go to whoa!
The site was made possible through the Australian Government’s regional arts program, Regional Arts Fund (RAF), which gives artists and communities throughout regional, rural and remote Australia better access to opportunities to practice and experience the arts. The foundation information is from Ideas Into Action, another RAF funded QAC initiated project.
