About the workshop

The new Government has been rolling out an exciting new agenda on innovation, the arts and the university sector. What implications does this have for people working in practice, in research and education, or in the cultural institutions? Could this mean a new influence, or new money?

On March 31, CHASS ran a one-day workshop n the Richard Wherrett Studio, at the Sydney Theatre at Walsh Bay to discuss how the Arts sector can respond to the new Government's innovation agenda.
