A
National Cultural Policy to 2020
28 October 2009
The
launch of the National Cultural Policy web forum
will allow all Australians to contribute to the
development of a national cultural policy. Launched
by the Hon. Minister for the Arts during his speech
to the National Press Club on 27 October this forum
gives all Australians an opportunity to help shape
our cultural future.
The Hon. Peter Garrett AM identified three key themes
for consideration: 1.Keeping culture strong;
2.Engaging the community; and,
3.Powering the young.
These key points, along with other ideas, are expanded
more fully in the forum’s discussion framework.
This is not an exhaustive list. The National Cultural
Policy web forum is a place to share your thoughts
- whether you are talking about cultural issues
in your region or a grand national vision. With
your help, the Australian government will create
a policy which celebrates and strengthens our culture.

schools and struggling communities.

Creative Community : The Art of Cultural Development
An
inspiring, foundational book that defines the burgeoning
field of community cultural development. Through
personal stories, rousing accounts, detailed observation
and histories, Arlene Goldbard describes how communities
express and develop themselves via the creative
arts. This comprehensive, photographically-illustrated
book, which covers community-based arts such as
theater grounded in oral history and murals celebrating
cultural heritage, will appeal to the curious non-specialist
reader as well as the practitioner and student.
Author Arlene Goldbard is one of the best-known
authors on community cultural development. Her seminal
books and essays are widely read in the U.S. and
other English-speaking countries -- among them,
Community, Culture and Globalization and this book's
antecedent, Creative Community.
