Abstract

Noting the unique challenges facing arts and culture in rural and regional Australia, this article takes the Central Queensland Regional Arts Services Network (CQRASN) as a case study to examine the role of universities in supporting the regional arts sector. Previous research acknowledges the contributions of universities to the arts sector through evaluation, innovation and knowledge transfer. This case study enables exploration of a different model of university and arts sector interaction. This article discusses the role and limitations of CQRASN in managing a regional cultural network and outlines future considerations for universities in strengthening the regional arts sector.
