VISION

Clearly Presents brings world-class music, arts, and wellbeing experiences to regional NSW, uniting communities in celebration of Australian creativity. Through dynamic collaborations with regional venues, local councils, and cultural organisations, we provide a platform for emerging talent, drive economic and cultural enrichment, and foster a deep sense of belonging.

Each year, Clearly Presents expands its presence, building a strong network of regional music festivals, conferences, and showcase events. Through the CLEARER annual scholarship, workshops, and expert-led discussions, we equip emerging artists with invaluable industry insights in creativity, wellbeing, and entrepreneurship.

As Clearly Presents continues to grow, it is set to become the premier regional music, arts, and wellbeing initiative, integrating multiple venues and communities into an expansive, multi-day program spanning live music, visual arts, wellness activities, and industry talks. Our partnerships with local businesses and organisations reinforce our long-term commitment to supporting regional NSW’s creative landscape.
