We offer many ways for RAV Members to connect with their wider creative communities, fellow RAV Members and RAV staff.
Member Meet-ups
A series of get togethers for Members to connect with each other and RAV staff, with the opportunity to see a RAV touring show. We provide the drinks and you provide the company!
RAV Member Creative Connections
These sessions provide Members with the opportunity to get together online and chat about a specific topic. RAV staff and a guest speaker will share stories and hear from Members about their experiences.
Online Information Sessions
Free online lunchtime sessions offering Members the chance to hear from experts about topics that matter most to them.
RAV in Residence
A partnership between RAV and our member organisations or regional Local Government Authorities (LGAs), providing the opportunity for local creatives to meet with RAV staff plus creative networking, forum or workshop events in communities.
