Have your say: Creative State 2020+
|
| |
Hey Next Wavers! If you’re based in Victoria and care about the future of the arts, this one is for you. Creative Victoria are now seeking views and ideas from the sector to inform their next four-year creative industries strategy. This is a great opportunity for us to collectively put forward what we think is going to be important for the arts to prioritise over the coming years.
Next Wave is passionate about creating the conditions for artists to thrive. Here is what we’re hoping the Government will take on board as they put together their strategy:
Investing in artist learning is key to a rigorous, robust, inspiring and inclusive artistic ecology.
Investing in the development of new work contributes to a sustainable sector and positive social change.
Prioritising cultural safety and inclusion programs and initiatives ensures that our conversations are rich, diverse and open to all.
Providing greater support to the Victorian Festival sector will grow audiences, increase accessibility and sector capacity.
We’d love it if you could hop on to the Creative State 2020+ portal and put forward your ideas, insights or provocations. To contribute, you can:
- Post your thoughts on their online ideas wall
- Upload a written or video submission
- Head to a consultation workshop if you’re in Melbourne, or host your own
Submissions close at the end of August, and anybody can have their say.
