Southern Tablelands Arts works with our members, makers & creative communities to energise and support the living culture of the STA Region. We do this through a rich program of professional services and projects that support, create, educate and advocate for the arts and cultural sector.

STA is a small arts organisation in regional NSW. We provide a multifaceted program of core services and a changing line up of projects that we achieve with the community. We are a critical part of the  local Arts and Cultural ecosystem. 

The  fabulous ‘ STA Story’ helps us tell the story of  who we are, what we do and why we are so dedicated to supporting our local Creative Sector. The STA team works tirelessly to develop and sustain the arts and cultural landscape of the STA Region. And we LOVE what we do. Huge thank you to the amazing Reload Productions for producing our story.
