About Our Research

We’re exploring how to better connect regional digital music creators with the resources they need to thrive. Our project examines how local infrastructure and online resources can work together to support creative communities outside major cities.

By collaborating directly with regional digital artists, we’re learning how to:

  • Strengthen regional creative ecosystems
  • Leverage existing investments in art institutions
  • Make better use of digital fabrication resources
  • Share specialized skills throughout regional communities

Why This Matters

As more creative practitioners choose regional living, we see tremendous opportunity to:

  1. Nurture growing creative industries in regional areas
  2. Meet increasing demand for diverse cultural experiences
  3. Develop digitally-connected creative hubs that benefit entire communities
  4. Provide insights to help governments optimize creative resource delivery

Our findings will help shape policy and practice to ensure regional Australia’s digital music and creative sectors can flourish.
