Technical and Specialist Services
The National Arts Council (NAC) supports artists to build diverse capabilities across a broad range of skills. Expertise is needed not only in art-making, but also in areas such as technical theatre and production. By partnering our cultural institutions to offer programmes for artists, we can raise competencies and strengthen the arts ecosystem as a whole.
