We Celebrate
– you and your achievements
We share and celebrate your achievements with the community via our website, socials, monthly events, and articles
We Celebrate
Creating any type of art, and working in a creative practice can often be isolating and challenging, especially in regional and rural towns.
So we want to celebrate your achievements!

We Advocate
Advocating under the banner of a collective organisation, can sometimes add more weight than a single voice.
Anyone (member and non-members) request Creative Assembly to raise an issue with a government agency, peak body, or other organisation on your behalf, affording you anonymity if you wish. Any such request will be presented to the committee and voted on by financial members.
We Advocate
– we are stronger together
If you have a concern, idea, or suggestion you would like to raise, CrACN can present this under our collective banner.
