Presented by the Powerhouse Museum in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW and Regional Arts NSW, museum volunteers and professional staff are invited to attend the annual Regional Stakeholder Forum that this year will be held online from 9am-1.15 pm on 26 November 2021.
Over the past year, the way we connect to people and place has changed. Almost overnight, museums shifted their collections, exhibitions, and programming online.
Working from home became the norm and, as a result, creative ways of communicating emerged. During a time when we were physically restricted to our local environment, technology provided opportunities to connect us to people and organisations across the world.
Connection
Connection is the theme of the Regional Stakeholder Forum 2021.
Across two sessions, the forum will focus on how cultural organisations from Western Sydney and across regional NSW connected with their communities and audiences, and how they envisage connecting when returning to onsite programming.
This free online forum is open to all museum volunteers and professional staff.
