The move comes as a massive blow to the festival, which has been held every year since 1998, and has been a vital date on the cultural calendar ever since.
Despite strong support received from The University of Newcastle and Arts NSW and kind venue support, TiNA’s budget is still short of a substantial cash injection needed to ensure the high quality of this year’s festival. TiNA is now calling on the community of Australia to lend its support in order to maintain our culturally diverse, rich, and sustainable arts sector. TiNA is seeking both sponsorship from businesses and private donations.
