Programs

There is so much great stuff in the Kumuwuki / Big Wave program that we’ve divided them into nine subprograms. No matter what you’re inclination, there is a program for you.

Feel free to browse the program descriptions below. When you click on Read Full Summary, you’ll see a listing of all the sessions within that program.

So you have read the framework and the accompanying articles and are on your way to understanding where you fit into Australia’s regional arts landscape. We invite you to join some serious discussions, laidback chats, enlightening keynotes and forays into the wide and varied practice, thoughts and musings of the people who make it their job to do and know this stuff! (and discover your place if it’s not quite clear yet.)

We have connected all the conference sessions and workshops to the artistic program and vice versa so your experience can be as one track as an outback dirt road or as congested as a multi lane highway!
