No one would rebuke describing Elizabeth Rogers as a firecracker of energy – an indominable force behind the promotion and advocacy of regional arts practice in NSW.
‘It’s genetic – I have got buckets of energy,’ Rogers said with a laugh. For the past 15 years she has been at the helm of Regional Arts NSW (RANSW) – a fifth of the organisation’s 75-year history.
