Policy, Programs and Initiatives
The arts and creativity have an important role in underpinning broader social and economic objectives. One of the ways that artsACT helps to enourage this is through its policies, projects and initiatives.
These activities are often undertaken in collaboration with other arts organisations or government agencies. This section is an overview of some of these projects and initiatives which include:
