It’s official… other than a handful of remaining copies and bookshop stock, the first print run of The Relationship is the Project has now SOLD OUT.

As such our relationship with our publisher, Brow Books, has come to its natural end. Huge thanks to the Brow team for helping us share The RITP with the world).

In other big news, while we wait to confirm funding for an updated second edition (!!!), we are thrilled to announce The Relationship is the Project is now available as a FREE ebook.

We hope removing this financial barrier will help the book find more readers, and put it in the (digital) hands of those who need it most.

Exploring the theme of Radical Practice, the 2022 Guildhouse Symposium will provide a platform for artists and practitioners to come together and explore the big and small gestures that shape our individual and collective practices.

We’re thrilled to lead one of the exciting conversations about community-led and community-engaged practice with The RITP collaborators Kate Larsen, Cara Kirkwood, Clare G Coleman and Country Arts SA’s Anthony Peluso.

Join us in South Australia on Saturday 11 November 2022. For bookings and more details, see the Guildhouse website.

We never get enough of hearing about the difference The RITP continues to make in the world.

“A really excellent resource for anyone working in and with communities in creative practice. The chapters are written in an accessible and informative style, yet address critical issues in community-engaged practice… An essential text.” – Linda, GoodReads reviewer
