National ABC and Screen Australia initiative set to foster arts for the next generation.
ABC Television and Screen Australia are pleased to announce their joint commitment to supporting Australian arts content with an exciting new initiative, Art Bites, that’s set to uncover fresh, engaging and entertaining arts series from emerging Australian filmmakers.
