Creative Barkly: Sustaining the Arts & Cultural Sector in Remote Australia

该项目计划研究澳大利亚偏远地区的艺术和文化部门目前如何运作，以及其增长潜力所在。人们越来越认识到，这一部门在区域发展中发挥着至关重要的作用，但人们对澳大利亚最偏远地区的社区人口统计与其他区域中心有很大不同的情况知之甚少。该项目计划在澳大利亚最大的偏远地区之一巴克利绘制该行业的地图，研究领导组织巴克利地区艺术在这方面发挥的作用，并提供资源和建议，为巴克利及其他地区的现行政策，战略和举措提供信息。

This project plans to examine how the arts and cultural sector is currently functioning in remote Australia and where its growth potential lies. There is increasing recognition that this sector plays a crucial role in regional development, but very little is known about how this operates in Australia’s remotest regions where the demographics of communities are vastly different from other regional centres. The project plans to map the sector in one of Australia’s largest remote regions, the Barkly, examine the role leading organisation Barkly Regional Arts plays in this, and deliver resources and recommendations that will inform current policies, strategies, and initiatives in the Barkly and beyond.
