Out of 225 researches, the jury members selected the best three initiatives. The final winners were excitedly announced by CTA on the 16th of November, at the Roadshow Australia, held in Art Gallery of NSW.

“None of us knows what we all know together”, those wise words originally uttered by either Euripides or Lao-Tseu (the internet can't agree on an answer) truly came to life in our first Roadshow Australia conference. To end this tumultuous year on a positive note, we thought we’d share our key learnings with all of you, whether you attended or not.

That's right, our one and only 2020 conference is right around the corner and it promises to be outstanding.

If you’ve recently partook in a survey aiming to asses the economic impact of Covid-19 on the Arts and Culture field, raise your hand. The numbers we’ve seen circulate are so high it is almost impossible to actually comprehend the extent of the damage on our sector. We look around to see colleagues being furloughed, cultural institutions announcing their doors will never re-open, and many more signs that the situation is direr that it’s ever been. Are there ways we could keep our heads above water?
