Calling All Artists, Creatives & Community Collaborators!

In 2026, the Shepparton Arts Festival will celebrate 30 years of creativity, culture, and connection across Greater Shepparton. As we mark this milestone, we're inviting expressions of interest (EOIs) from artists, performers, collectives, curators, and community groups who want to be part of this special year.

We’re looking for bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and events that reflect the diversity, stories, and spirit of our region. Whether you’re local or connected to Shepparton in another meaningful way, this is your chance to contribute to a landmark year of art and celebration.

Festival Dates: March/April 2026 (tbc)
Submit your EOI by: 14 September 2025
