All of the arts organisations in the Frog Hollow Centre of the Arts are in the process of moving due to the construction of Barneson Boulevard.

2018 Territory Read Shortlist
The NT Writers’ Centre was pleased to announce the 2018 Territory Read Shortlist at the festival opening of Wordstorm Darwin.
This year, the judges received and considered 24 individual works over a number of categories. The incredibly varied submissions provided a unique insight into the diversity and breadth of NT writers and the stories they tell. Especially notable was the large number of non-fiction entries, ranging from touching memoirs of individuals to more scholarly works capturing NT history and history makers.
AGM, 30 May 2018
The Annual General Meeting of the NT Writers’ Centre will be held on Wednesday, 30 May at 5.30pm.
Territory Read Book of the Year
Submissions are in for our 2018 search for the best in NT writing.
A shortlist will be announced at the festival opening of Wordstorm–Darwin, on Thursday May 24.
Since 2009, the Territory Read awards have created an opportunity to celebrate excellence amongst published authors from the NT. They also draw national attention to NT writers and in the past have served to raise the profile of remote, regional and Indigenous authors. The awards take place biennially and this year there are three categories. (more…)

WRITE NOW: DARWIN
Come write with a bunch of folk who are writing stuff. Anything. Everything. Everyone.
Hosted by a local writer in a lounge room setting, WRITE NOW is a laid-back get- together where you can work on whatever you like and be inspired by the constant tap of productive fingers and minds. You won’t be asked to share your writing (you can do that at Wild Words!) but you will get to share in a delicious afternoon tea and the buzz of writing together.
Held on the first Saturday of every month, 2 – 4pm @ The Mayfair Gallery, 7 Harriet Place, Darwin City.
Cost: $5 on arrival
Presented by NTWC in partnership with ACCOMPLICE & StoryProjects
