Arts & Cultural Policy Consultation Forums
------------------------------------------

The Development and Strategy Directorate (DSD) of the Department of Culture and the Arts, is creating a new overarching policy framework to shape and guide its future work.

DSD is responsible for all of the work of the former ArtsWA and the Department’s former Policy & Planning Division; it is also responsible for implementing 15 of the 21 projects within the Ignite package.

To ensure that a broad range of perspectives are represented in the policy development process, DSD is undertaking a public consultation, of which these forums are the first stage.

Presenters and attendees will explore and discuss current issues and new directions relating to the forum topic. Outcomes from each forum will inform and influence the development of the new policy framework.
