ADVOCACY | ARTS DAY ON THE HILL | NAVA

Every Wednesday evening from 22 April, NAVA will join Australia’s leading advocacy thinkers and practitioners online at 4pm (AEST).

Let’s talk arts, policy, media, political and public engagement. What works? What doesn’t? What can we achieve together?

Results from the online workshops will culminate in Arts Day on the Hill – Australia’s national day of advocacy for the arts. This year’s Arts Day on the Hill is Wednesday, 12 August, during the first Parliamentary sitting week after the winter break.

Last year’s Arts Day on the Hill training was an intensive two-day set of workshops presented at the National Gallery of Australia, the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) and Parliament House. This year preparations are via a set of weekly workshops.
