Arts enthusiasts needed
DO you have a passion for the arts and culture? If so, Moyne Shire Council is seeking your input.
The council is calling out for nominations from those keen to help develop an arts and culture strategy.
It’s hoped people from all backgrounds, experiences, and ages who share a passion for the arts and culture in the region will express their interest in joining the group.
The group will play a vital role in creating a vision for arts and culture that will enhance livability and health and well-being in the shire.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster said this was a unique opportunity to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Moyne Shire.
“Arts and culture play an important role in enhancing social connectedness and community wellbeing,” Cr Foster said.
“We want members of the advisory group to help shape the strategy’s vision, represent the community, advocate for the arts sector, and collaborate on developing a strategy which will guide council’s approach to arts and cultural experiences.
“Once the strategy is drafted, we will seek feedback from the wider community before the final strategy is brought before councillors.”
Cr Foster said the strategy should reflect feedback from residents, and champion the importance of arts and culture in our community.
People aged 16 years and over can register their interest in joining the advisory group by completing the nomination form at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/ArtsEOI or at a customer service centre in Port Fairy or Mortlake.
Terms of reference for the group are available online or at a customer service centre.
Expressions of interest will close on October 29.
