Cultural Policy Forum to hear from Special Envoy for the Arts

The arts, entertainment and cultural community will have the chance to learn about the Government’s new National Cultural Policy at a roundtable event to be hosted by Independent Federal Member for Indi Helen Haines.

The Indi Cultural Policy Roundtable will be held on Tuesday June 6 from 3pm to 4pm at the Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre.

The Federal Government’s Special Envoy for the Arts Susan Templeman MP will present how the policy will benefit arts and culture organisations, followed by a Q&A session with Dr Haines and a representative from the Office for the Arts.

The new National Cultural Policy, Revive, aims to create a place for every story, and a story for every place, including in the regions.

“This is a fabulous opportunity for our arts, entertainment and cultural community to learn how to benefit from the policy and be part of its implementation,” Dr Haines said.

“We are so lucky to have a rich arts and culture scene in Indi. I want to support people and organizations across Indi and see our arts scene grow and thrive.”

“I am looking forward to hearing from the people of Indi and working with our local organisations to make the most of this policy.”

The Cultural Policy Roundtable will be hosted in the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre on Tuesday 6 June 2023 from 3:00 – 4:00pm.
