City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters reveals three-year Arts & Culture Plan

The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, covering the inner eastern suburbs of Adelaide, has unveiled its 2024 – 2027 Arts and Culture Plan and is now calling on the local community for feedback.

Mayor Robert Bria said the Council wants to hear directly from artists, historians, cultural organisations, businesses and groups who participates in, or shares an interest in any art form.

Mayor Bria notes “Our City is known for its unique and diverse culture and for valuing creativity and artistic expression within the community.

“From Art on Parade, our Public Art & Culture Grants, the Council’s support of the SALA Festival and Adelaide Fringe as well as Canvas Youth Arts and the Quadrennial Public Art Program, our City has a strong track record when it comes to supporting emerging and established artists.

“The new three-year Arts & Culture Plan will strengthen the role the Council plays in helping to foster innovation, imagination and expression across all areas of arts and culture to help us to attract new audiences.

“Whether it’s visual art, performing art, literary art, temporary and permanent public art, moving image and community art, we want to continue to build on the Council’s excellent reputation of delivering a diverse and superior-quality program of events, activations and exhibitions.

“The most important aspect of the Arts & Culture Plan is proactively engaging and celebrating the local arts and culture community.”
