NT Government The Northern Territory’s key visual and performing arts touring organisation is amongst newcomers to a framework that will raise its national profile and offer financial stability. Artback NT is one of eight new groups signed up to the National Performing Arts Partnership Framework (NPAPF), placing it amongst a clique of performance organisations including the Australian Ballet, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Opera Australia. The recent additions broaden the scope of the partnership framework and build on the strength of the 30 existing partners, improving arts access in regional and remote communities. The agreement sets Artback NT as the first Northern Territory arts organisation to join the National Performing Arts Partnership Framework.
