WHAT IS RASN?

The Regional Arts Services Network (RASN) is a network of regional arts service providers who, supported by Arts Queensland, will work in collaboration to deliver on-the-ground arts services in communities throughout regional Queensland.

In 2022, Arts Queensland announced four new Queensland-based service providers would lead the way in delivering arts-led initiatives across the state through the Regional Arts Services Network (RASN) 2022 – 2025, boosting opportunities for regional communities to access high quality arts and cultural engagement. Joining Topology as Queensland’s new RASN providers are Empire Theatre Toowoomba, Central Queensland University, and Regional Development Australia Tropical North in consortium with Cook Shire Council.
