Abstract
The intersection of city-based artists and a thriving regional arts hub provides multiple benefits, both for students, visiting artists and the region overall. For students these include exposure to current urban expertise in areas such as songwriting, production and performance. This paper examines two firmly established externally funded mentoring programs that provide and create innovative opportunities fostering an environment of equity and diversity in the Contemporary Music Program at Southern Cross University (SCU), Lismore, Australia. The APRA Songwriting Workshops (including an Artist in Residence Program) and the Higher Education Equity Support Program (HEESP, now Women in Music) work together to foster and support an environment of equity and diversity. The paper explores the beneficial elements from these programs that enrich curricula across the Contemporary Music degree, spotlights the creation and establishment of the innovative equity program and website for Women in Music, and investigates some of the specific findings from the Artist in Residence ‘Undone’ Program.
