Byron Shire artists and creatives are invited to an Arts and Creative Industries Forum on Friday 25 November from 10am until 3pm at the Brunswick Picture House.
Councillors will be attending and a light lunch will be provided. Attendees are asked to please register for tickets via Council’s website.
“We know it’s an especially busy time of year but we’re hoping our Shire’s creative community will take up this special opportunity to come together and do a bit of future dreaming,” Council’s Arts and Culture Officer, Melitta Firth said.
“We’ll be brainstorming ideas with creative collaborators and gathering feedback about what you’d like the creative future of the Byron Shire to look like,” she said.
Council is developing an Arts and Culture Action Plan and input from the Forum will guide Council’s involvement and investment in arts and cultural activities over the next 5 years.
The Arts and Culture Action Plan will focus on areas including:
- Arts and culture infrastructure
- Public art and creative activation of public spaces
- Enabling cultural activity
- Supporting festivals, events and screen industry activities
- Nurturing our creative community
“Join Council, creatives and industry leaders to discuss how we can catalyse new partnerships and work together to support arts and cultural activities around the Byron Shire,” Ms Firth said.
