The Hobart City Council plays a leading role in facilitating community and cultural development by working with the community to identify needs and undertake appropriate activities. The Council's current Cultural services include Public Art, the Carnegie Gallery, the City of Hobart Art Prize, and Cultural Grants.
The current Hobart City Council Arts and Cultural Strategy, was published in 2002 and articulates the Council's vision for the cultural life of Hobart. This strategy is now being reviewed and community and cultural practitioner input has been sought through communtiy consultation workshops and surveys. This input will help us to improve how the Council facilitates cultural development within the community.
The surveys have now closed and we thank all who took part.
A draft Cultural Strategy will be presented to Council in February 2012.
