What are your thoughts on a National Cultural Policy?
The Australia Council is seeking your ideas to help us form a submission to the National Cultural Policy discussion paper.
On 11 August 2011 the Hon Simon Crean MP, Minister for the Arts, called for public comment on a discussion paper for the National Cultural Policy. The discussion paper is the next phase of consultation. It focuses on four proposed goals and priorities:
- Goal 1: To ensure that what the Government supports — and how this support is provided — reflects the diversity of a 21st century Australia, and protects and supports Indigenous culture.
- Goal 2: To encourage the use of emerging technologies and new ideas that support the development of new artworks and the creative industries, and that enable more people to access and participate in arts and culture.
- Goal 3: To support excellence and world‑class endeavour, and strengthen the role that the arts play in telling Australian stories both here and overseas.
- Goal 4: To increase and strengthen the capacity of the arts to contribute to our society and economy.
Through this phase of consultation the Australian Government is seeking diverse views on:
- the role the arts and culture can play in meeting Australian aspirations, as outlined in the goals
- what success for each goal might look like; and
- ideas you have to get there.
