QUEENSLAND ARTS & CULTURAL SECTOR PLAN

The Premier and Minister for the Arts Anna Bligh launched the Queensland Arts and Cultural Sector Plan 2010 - 2013 (Sector Plan) which is an industry development framework for arts and cultural development throughout the State. The Sector Plan was developed after extensive state-wide industry consultation which included an evaluation of the outcomes of the previous Sector Plan (2007 - 2009).

The 2010-2013 Sector Plan sets a clear direction for government and the arts sector to work together to develop arts and culture in Queensland. The Sector Plan which aims to build a strong and sustainable arts and cultural sector outlines five goals along with priority areas and new opportunities, as well as sector perspectives and a summary of Arts Queensland's core programs, strategies, major projects and new initiatives.
