Have your say on the draft Arts and Culture Plan which provides direction for Council to support arts and culture in the shire for the next five years.
The draft Arts and Cultural Plan identifies the essential role Council plays in delivering, collaborating and advocating for arts and cultural development across the shire.
The plan provides direction for cultural activity and investment from Council across a range of program areas for the financial years 2024/25 to 2029/30. It considers the current role of Council and the potential for future action should funding be secured.
The plan is based on a broad definition of arts and culture which includes visual arts (e.g. painting, sculpture, photography), music (both recorded and performed), performing arts (e.g. dance, theatre), literature (books and other written works), craft and design, film, television and radio, fashion design, software development and interactive digital content, architecture and museums.
Based on this definition, most people in the Bega Valley participate in the arts in some way, most often as audiences. This is evidenced by the numerous arts and cultural events held across the shire, and their high attendance numbers.
The draft Arts and Culture Plan identifies five key theme areas relevant to Council.
The plan has been developed by South East Arts in conjunction with Council staff, including limited sector consultation.
We are seeking your feedback on the draft Arts and Culture Plan, to provide direction for cultural activity and investment from Council across a range of program areas for the financial years 2024/25 to 2029/30.
