Charters Towers Sets The New Normal For Investment in Arts & Culture

Posted on by
It’s been a little time in the baking but happily Charters Towers Regional Council has now formally adopted a new Arts and Cultural Investment Policy and Plan. The documents outline the vision, direction and priorities for investment arts and cultural development over the next five years. This sits comfortably alongside the other responsibilities of Council as the 4th pillar of community sustainability. It can only be a good thing for the future well-being and prosperity of the community. At the same time Council also adopted a new Public Art Investment Policy. Charters Towers Region is certainly setting the bar for the new normal. Congratulations.

More Arts Business in Rocky

Posted on by

Another great trip to glorious subtropical Rocky over the weekend. This time I was working with the hardy group of cultural champions on the finer points of writing about, documenting and presenting an art practice and the even finer but slightly more challenging topics of preparing budgets and managing finances. Had a happy time with this enthusiastic group and hopefully was of some assistance in helping them along the way to a sustainable arts practice. Thank you all for making the trip so enjoyable. Thanks again to Mark and Arts CQ and to Flying Arts Alliance.

Public Art and Asset Audit for Toowoomba

Posted on by

Currently collaborating with my colleague Jamie Maclean who has been commissioned by the Toowoomba Regional Council to undertake an audit of all plaques, memorials, monuments and public art works in the Region. Big job. Jamie will be preparing exhaustive condition reports and a detailed maintenance plan. Together we will be developing a new ubeaut classification and valuation model for these important public assets. Great work.
