For Artists
Darwin Festival is an international arts festival with a local heart. An integral part of our mission is to support the presentation of Northern Territory artists and performers. We proudly provide a high-profile national platform for local artists to showcase their talent alongside the best in current national and international touring work.
Industry Connect Program
Darwin Festival is committed to investing in the arts in the NT with a range of opportunities for local artists and arts workers to connect with visiting creatives and each other.
Industry Connect features a curated program of free workshops, masterclasses, talks and panel discussions delivered in a spirit of collaboration and exchange. This is a program for anyone who is keen to explore ideas, extend their learning and feel part of the wider Australian and international arts network.
Join our Industry Connect program to be the first to hear about workshops and talks with Darwin Festival artists.
Events are happening online in June and July, as well as in-person during Darwin Festival.
