This Special Interest Group operates as a forum to support Local Government arts management and development activities. Delegates from all Local Government authorities across Victoria are invited to participate in discussions on topics relevant to the arts and culture portfolios.
The group aims to meet four times a year. Some of the issues focused on include:
Sharing ideas, knowledge and achievements within and outside the Special Interest Group, for example with other Special Interest Groups and relevant stakeholders
Networking and exchanging ideas between Councils
Providing input and representation to other levels of government and industry on opportunities or challenges
Establishing information on training opportunities
Contract management
Grant management
Art & heritage
Indigenous arts
Art participation
Public art and other matters as they arise
- active members in the SIG Network
Please note that this Special Interest Group is a closed group, open only to employees of a Victorian Council with a LGPro Council Subscription.
Local Government officers involved in arts management and development activities
It is highly desirable that members commit to a full year of meetings to ensure continuity
If meeting attendance is less than 10, the meeting will be cancelled with two business days notice
This Special Interest Group is supported by an online community. We believe that accessing knowledge from individuals who work in a similar environment is invaluable and should never be underestimated. Our communities are only for people working in Local Government and there are many benefits to participating in them. They are a great way to keep in touch in between meetings, by asking your fellow colleagues questions and sharing resources. You can also see who else is involved and get in touch with them quickly. Agendas, minutes, presentations and other resources will also be posted on the online community.
