The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) is seeking arts, culture, and creative industry input to the development of a 10 Year Vision for Arts and Culture in Western Australia (10 Year Vision).
The 10 Year Vision is WA's opportunity to update Strategic Directions 2016-2031.
Strategic Directions 2016-2031 was released in 2016 having been developed in partnership with the sector through the Arts Leadership Group, involving extensive sector consultation. The document was the first to provide a unified vision for the arts, culture, and creative industries in WA, and was intended to provide a long-term strategic direction for our state.
While Strategic Directions 2016-2031 contains valuable insights and aspirations for the WA’s arts, culture and creative industries, since the COVID-19 pandemic there is a need for an updated vision for the sector that reflects the changes in national and global context, and more clearly articulates the State Government’s priorities for our arts, culture, and creative industries in line with wider priorities for the state.
Please read the 10 Year Vision for Arts and Culture in Western Australia Discussion Paper and the Review of Strategic Directions 2016-2031 to find out more about achievements against the Strategic Directions 2016-2031 milestones, the consultation process for the 10 Year Vision, and the potential to for the 10 Year Vision to draw on the framework of the National Cultural Policy: Revive: A place for every story, a story for every place.
The DLGSC is seeking arts, culture, and creative industry input to the development of the 10 Year Vision via an online survey.
The survey closes at 11:59pm Tuesday 22 August 2023.
This survey is the beginning of a process to determine how best the State Government can support the growth of our state's arts, culture, and creative industries over the next 10 years. This will start with a vision of where WA aims to be in 2033. DLGSC has engaged experienced arts and cultural consultant Kate Larsen to support development of the 10 Year Vision. There will be more opportunities to get involved in the development of strategies and plans to implement this vision over the coming years.
To register your interest in further consultation to contribute to the 10 Year Vision, including future consultation to develop targeted strategies and plans in the coming years, please email: researchca@dlgsc.wa.gov.au
