Arts & Culture

Arts and Cultural Services coordinate, support and develop opportunities for art and culture initiatives provided by community groups, artists, individuals and Council in the Indigo Shire. In 2006-07 Indigo Shire Council developed an Arts Strategy setting out the Council's vision for developing and encouraging the arts as a vital part of each of the communities in the Shire. The Arts Strategic Plan has been updated for implementation for 2012 - 2016 and will soon be available for comment.

The purpose of the Arts and Culture Advisory
