The Regional & Remote Music Summit - featuring a program of conversations, cultural exchange, ideas, and performances all focused on strengthening regional music ecosystems and communities - is set to take place this year at the Byron Bay Community Centre from July 23rd to July 25th.
The event will be hosted by MusicNSW with the support of Sound NSW and Music Australia, each contributing $100,000 to help deliver a great event. The New South Wales Minister for Arts, Music and the Night-time Economy, John Graham, announced last August that NSW would be home to the summit.
It is important to remember that Australia’s vast regional and remote areas are integral to shaping the nation’s music industry.
Thus, the Regional & Remote Music Summit, which first ran last year, was created to support a more inclusive, connected Australian music industry, showcasing music’s power as a catalyst for positive change and providing a dedicated platform to tackle the unique challenges facing regional and remote artists.
