Katherine Regional Arts

About

The strength of Katherine Regional Arts is in its relationships; strong relationships with the people and organisations of the vast Katherine region in Northern Australia. It is our collateral. These relationships determine the work we do. Through meaningful and active relationships with our community, we are able to provide arts and cultural opportunities that are relevant and responsive. Since 2012, KRA has been redefining itself. With the establishment of Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts and Culture Centre in that year, KRA welcomed the increased capacity for arts in Katherine. At the same time, it sought to clearly define its own role. And it has. KRA is a highly successful community arts and cultural development organisation. It has carved out its niche in the marketplace and placed itself on a more competitive and sustainable business footing. KRA’s program now includes a functioning arts studio with screen-printing facilities, kiln, printing press, a mobile solar cinema, a workshop program for people with disabilities, an extensive collaborative project with four Aboriginal communities, a public art project, an annual theatre production, and our flagship – annual Junk Festival. We are confident in what we do, and this strategic plan guarantees we are well supported as we move forward; continuing to consolidate and maintain the integrity of our community arts and cultural development work.
