With the performing arts reeling from the impact of COVID, this webinar explores a pathway forward.
Grappling with issues such as whether cultural policy should focus nationally or locally, how to shift cultural policy from industrial policy to public service, how inclusive it could be, and how building for the future might take place, three distinguished speakers survey the landscape.
They will provide an overview of the settings for Cultural Policy in Australia and also explore how the substructure can be nurtured.
