Community Participation


Art is an important contributor to the wellbeing of the community, with research highlighting the importance of art as a means of learning and community engagement. It is also recognised that some people in the community may experience barriers to participating in the arts because of disability, cultural difference or social disadvantage.

The ACT Government is committed to providing opportunities for all members of the community to participate in arts and cultural activities and recognises the important role it plays in building an arts sector that is responsive to the needs and interests of the community.
