Borders is a creative inquiry into vitalising people and place - exploring the relationship between creative communities in Victorian and New South Wales cross-border towns along the Murray River.

Artists from across regional Victoria and New South Wales have been invited to come together and revision the Murray River social & ecological community, from what it has been to what it can become.

Reinstating the value of the River as a meeting place, post border closures of 2020-21, the Borders team are working to foster a rich creative environment aimed at renewing creative practices in the regions. Unfolding across four cross-border towns which act as a touch points along the River, regional arts organisations will join forces to engage artists from both sides of the border.

The three-year process from 2022-24 combines social research, community dialogue, capacity building & performance development.
