New Board member

Western Riverina Arts welcomes new board member Councillor Alison Balind of Griffith City Council.

"We're pleased to announce Mrs Balind is joining our organisation," said Julie Briggs, Chair of Western Riverina Arts.

"It's a great to have gained the interest of an elected representative and we hope this will open new opportunities for art and cultural activity in our region."

Alison Balind has extensive experience in community engagement and communications, as well as a long history of working on projects within Griffith.

Mrs Balind replaces Kristy Brown as Griffith City Council's representative.

"We've enjoyed having Kristy on the Board," said Mrs Briggs. "She brought a valuable perspective from her work in the Griffith Theatre and her artistic practise.

“We wish her the best in the next step in career and look forward to assisting her continued creativity."
