You can’t know a place until you know it’s stories, all of the them. The good, the bad the awkward and the hilarious ones. The Barossa Podcast by 100 Barossa Artists aims to paint a picture through words of the creative region we live in; creating understanding through the power of voice and narrative, informing, building community connection and influencing positive change. 100 Barossa Artists is an artist led initiative creating opportunities to upscale Arts in the greater Barossa region, focused on the development of grassroots, collaborative projects within the art community. This project is the next step to recognise and grow from 10 to 100 to 1000 Barossa Artists capturing 100 Barossa Stories, a ’self portrait’ through the the art of storytelling.
