ABC TV puts regional artists on the digital map
artpost, an interactive website and short video series for TV broadcast, which showcases artists working in regional and remote parts of the country, was launched on 2 October 2008. Peter Garrett, the Federal Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, launched artpost at art at the heart, in Alice Springs. The site provides the tools for students, teachers, art lovers and artists to create short videos about who they are and their work, for inclusion on the digital map.  In five easy steps, a video can be created and uploaded directly to what will become a living art gallery of all corners of Australia. These videos will also be broadcast on ABC1 and ABC2. NT's Christine Christophersen, Chayni Henry and the Tjupa Band are already featured online. www.abc.net.au/artpost
