A 10 year plan for the arts in Australia and a short history of street art
Description
What will the arts look like in Australia in a decade? And what could it look like with a plan and strategy that’s looking that far into the future? A new paper is recommending a 10 year national arts and culture strategy and a ministerial council that brings together federal, state and local representatives. Kate Fielding, CEO of A New Approach, explains why the Government should learn from their approach to sport and take a long view on the arts.
And from illegal tags to corporate commissions, the public sentiment around street art has changed significantly over the last three decades. Tim Phibs looks back on the changing face of street art in Australia as he launches a new public installation in Newtown.
