“Recently, Lonsdale has been working on “Big Little Histories of Canowindra” with The Corridor Project and says one of the aspects that strengthens the project is how it manages to involve people from across the community, who may or may not be engaged with the arts. “it’s involving the agricultural sector, farmers, bush ranger enthusiasts, museums, so it’s different sectors of the community, that are not necessarily arts and culture based that are coming together to work on projects, to produce an event that opens up different audiences, and also opens up different sources of funding to be able to put together an event like that . . . It’s just that process and the relationships and partnerships you forge with people that you may have nothing in common with that builds that project and strengthens it from different aspects.”
