In 2007 Arts NSW, through the ConnectEd funding program, selected Artside-in! as a
best-practice education program, enabling the Gallery to take it to Moree, in the New England
Region of northern New South Wales. Artside-In! Moree ran over two consecutive weeks in May 2007
and included a Visual Arts Teachers professional development day, a three-day, intensive,
studio-based art camp at the Moree Plains Gallery and a 5-day immersion in the Sydney art
world - based at the Art Gallery of New South Wales - for students, teachers and Moree Plains
Gallery staff. The program concluded with an exhibition of the participating students' works at
the Moree Plains Gallery in November 2007.
This short video documents this innovative program, the participants and their experiences.
