Connect, Collaborate, Create
At this critical time it is important to find new ways of working and develop a culture of collaboration.
Contributions to this engagement have closed for evaluation and review.
The City of Greater Geelong is developing an Arts and Cultural Strategy which will guide initiatives and investment from 2020 - 2030. We have engaged consulting firm 'Positive Solutions' to assist in this process. Through preliminary research and engagement specific to arts, culture and heritage, we have identified themes that matter to Geelong and its community.
We now invite you to respond to the themes, to reflect on them and challenge them. This will assist us in developing a clear understanding of the arts, culture and heritage needs and priorities for the municipality prior to developing our final strategies.
What do they mean to you, your creative career or practice, your organisation, business or sector? What do you see as our collective priorities? What’s missing? Respond to our questions in the Survey or ask your own. Share your ideas on the Ideas Wall.
Firstly, we encourage you to participate in our Survey which includes questions on the impact of COVID19. If you have more to say consider making a submission in written form.
Address the key themes, include others, or tell us what you see as major priorities for the Arts and Cultural Strategy.
Please click on the Survey and/or Written Submission tabs below to have your say. Alternatively you can post a written submission to The Cultural Planner, Arts & Culture Department PO Box 104, Geelong 3220.
WAYS TO RESPOND
