"An Australian-first initiative will give Western Australian artists an opportunity to reach and interact with new audiences through ABC television and online. Culture and Arts Minister Sheila McHale said the iArts project would partner selected WA artists and musicians with WA producers to create interactive works that could be streamed online, podcast, vodcast or broadcast on mobile networks and on ABC TV. “iArts is the first initiative of its kind in Australia and is an excellent example of cross-industry collaboration,” Ms McHale said. It will give WA artists an opportunity to develop critical online business skills which will help them profile their work nationally and internationally."
