A project to inspire creative regions provided local government personnel an opportunity to appreciate the challenges facing the arts in regional Queensland. Regional arts workers can and do make a palpable and essential contribution to the quality of life in their communities. A series of facilitated workshops utilising ‘conversations’ offered regional participants connected to the Queensland Arts Council (QAC) through local arts council groups and Arts Queensland (AQ) through membership of Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Committees with space for conversations. These three-day conversations provided a framework to explore shared visions and passions for arts practice, community well-being and community leadership.
