On 11th August 2011 Minister for the Arts, Simon Crean, released a discussion paper seeking public input into the National Cultural Policy. This consultation will help to determine a 10 year strategic vision to ensure our arts, cultural and creative endeavours resonate with a 21st century, globally competitive, internationally celebrated and culturally diverse Australia.
The Office of Senator Kate Lundy in collaboration with the Office of Minister Simon Crean is running a Digital Culture Public Sphere consultation to look specifically at the digital arts and industries as well as opportunities for cultural institutions around digitisation, public engagement and collaboration. This consultation will result in a submission that will be presented directly to the Minister as part of the broader National Cultural Policy consultation.
ANAT is assisting the Office of Senator Kate Lundy with this consultation and encourages interested parties to submit their ideas and opinions.
You can contribute your ideas on Digital Culture to the National Cultural Policy before the 15th October through the blog, Facebook, Twitter or the collaborative submission directly on the wiki. All details and links available here:
