Desart Art Centre Conference 2026

The Desart Art Centre Conference is an annual three-day closed event for Desart member art centre managers, directors, artists and art workers.

It’s an opportunity for art centres to connect with each other and with Desart staff, guest speakers, and staff of government agencies as well as other industry support organisations. The conference is a platform for peer-to peer learning and access to industry consultants plus experts for our member art centres.

The conference program is designed to offer art centre staff, directors and arts workers a culturally safe space to celebrate and share their successes, experiential learning and to discuss and work towards solutions to pressing issues.
