support opportunities for participation in arts and cultural activities to help connect our communities
support raising the profile of local artists and the arts community
enable the activation of town centres and rural communities
The strategy aims to promote inclusion, collaboration and participation in arts and cultural activities across the whole shire. It recognises the value of the arts in connecting our communities.
