As Victoria's peak regional arts body and appointed Consultant on Creative Horsham, RAV will use its extensive networks to engage a range of guest speakers in their field to inform the community gatherings.
Joe Toohey, Executive Director of RAV, explained the format for the conversations.
"Each conversation is based on a specific focus area and supported by key experts that are considered leading organisations in their field of expertise. It's an excellent opportunity to re-connect with each-other, network and get creative around a common theme," Mr Toohey said.
"Confirmed speakers include guests from the Wall-to-Wall Festival (Benalla), Multicultural Arts Victoria, Writers Victoria, Music Victoria, Arts Access Victoria, The Push, Creative Victoria and Theatre Network Australia, with more to be announced."
