Penrith Performing and Visual Arts Launches New Online Arts Program, Keep Heart Penrith

Penrith Performing & Visual Arts is at its heart a deeply human organisation; with connection to multiple facets of the arts at its core. Around the world audiences are reeling from the many changes and challenges being experienced globally to the arts world. Diaries are wiped clean; the gatherings and events are gone - for now.

The new online program Keep Heart Penrith delivered by Penrith Performing and Visual Arts will help guide audiences and community to the new changed arts world via Creative Care Packs; a series of arts-based content & learning delivered to your email address.

As part of Keep Heart Penrith, the Creative Care Packs will bring a balanced collection of the latest and best arts content.

The best in live performance, virtual travel to the top museums and exhibitions around the world, as well as fun and creative activities to try at home by yourself or with the family. The packs also include insights with Gallery, Q, Joan or Con team members and staff, insights into the Collection, plus writing prompts and exercises. There is also a From the Archives section - a series of did you know insights covering the history of creative Penrith, including the legacy behind Q Theatre, The Joan and Penrith Regional Gallery.

Penrith Conservatorium, Q Theatre and Penrith Regional Gallery have all moved to operating online with exhibitions, creative projects, workshops, private lessons and ensemble tuition now available to access from the computer at home. Please see below for details.
