Arts activities and products are the life blood of city vitality. Cities built on a strong tradition of the arts are recognised for their attractive, robust, and vibrant cultural life.
These cities have environments defined by interesting spaces, festivals, performances and public art that create an atmosphere of excitement and discovery.
They provide opportunities for self-expression, creativity and imagination. They bring people together building social networks, cooperation and social cohesion.
They provide for the exchange, tolerance and respect of diverse values and cultures. They enable creative talents and skills to be grown and sharpened, and promote local cultural products that contribute to the growth of the economy.
In recognition of these benefits the City of Ryde has developed
‘A Direction for Arts Development in the City of Ryde: Draft Framework’.
For any enquiries on the Draft Framework please contact Paul Graham on 9952 8312 or email.
