Creating Digital Country.
“Creating Digital Country” is a multi-layered project that will increase economic opportunities through building the strength, capacity, self-determination and resilience of Aboriginal Artists by supporting creative practice in the digital space through online programming, professional development, capacity building and responsive outcomes.
Creating Digital Country will focus on digitalising the services we offer face to face into the digital space through website capacity development to include new resources, tools and features for Aboriginal Artists in Regional NSW focused on creative practice and market place development in the digital space.
2 Rivers currently offer a suite of professional development programs in a face to face setting which we also delivered via Zoom. Through the funding we will be able to digitalise these programs as well as create new programs including development of information and instructional videos and podcasts that will be easily accessible.
