We ve mapped existing infrastructure to identify opportunities for new facilities and the renewal of underused spaces to help deliver what artists and creatives really need like dedicated arts centres to mixed-use facilities.
The framework s five year scope, identified in the City of Melbourne Arts Strategy 20 14 17 focuses on arts infrastructure that is accessible and encourages participation, addressing the needs of new and emerging artists, creative practitioners and organisations.
Our goals are to:
- Secure commitment for the delivery of three arts hubs that include mid-sized performance spaces and community arts spaces.
- To significantly increase the number of creative spaces within the municipality.
- Advocate to create and incorporate live/work spaces within the city.
- Advocate to support the provision of more affordable housing for artists, as per the city s housing strategy.
- To ensure the integration of embedded public art projects in new public and private developments.
