Intro
This follows an extensive organisational review by the Chamber of Arts and Culture, which resulted in a new business strategy to integrate arts, culture and creative industries into all aspects of life in WA.
The funding provided to the chamber will allow it to build its capacity as the peak body for WA's cultural and creative industries, to deliver capacity-building programs, and support industry development initiatives.
The chamber will provide a voice for the sector, advocating and representing the State's cultural and creative industries on key issues to build and support a vibrant Western Australian sector.
The chamber will also promote the value and social return on investment that the arts deliver to the Western Australian community and economy, championing the essential place of arts and culture in the economic and social wellbeing of the State.
The State Government recognises the importance of a flourishing arts and culture sector and is currently developing a 10 Year Vision for Arts and Culture in Western Australia.
