Arts Charge

Griffith Regional Theatre Program Launch

Project Summary

With increasing evidence of the wellbeing and community building benefits that the arts and cultural industries can deliver, Griffith City Council has taken a strong leadership role with its community by charging its arts facilities and bringing under one management the visual and performing arts, entertainment and cultural services in a way that they support, generate and reinforce positive programs, activity and messages of local government.

Support for this vision has led to greater engagement in arts and cultural activities by more of the community and revealed greater opportunities and efficiencies in program delivery, resource and partnership development, communication and education.

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
