When people ask ‘what does STA do?’ It’s tempting to reply ‘Do you have time for a coffee, and I’ll tell you’
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.
This 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 Kevin Greaves for producing our story.
