Our Vision
We want a capital city where creativity is amplified. Where talent, skill and tradition are nurtured and elevated for the enrichment of all.
The strategy has been developed to build on our creative sector which includes individual artists, organisations, businesses, and our audiences.
The seven-year, place-based strategy is structured around three focus areas
• Celebrating Larrakia
• Distinctly Darwin
• Invigorating spaces.
With six guiding principles to underpin the three priorities across the life of the strategy
• Relationships
• Partnering
• Adding value
• Diversity
• Building capacity
• Municipality-wide reach.
The strategy was guided by Council’s Arts and Cultural Development Advisory Committee (ACDAC) and its Creative Strategy Working Group and developed in collaboration with Matrix on Board Consulting.
The Creative Strategy draws from the Darwin community’s participation and wisdom, the current local and national policy environment, and City of Darwin’s Strategic Plan to nurture and grow the creative lives of all who live, work, play and study across the municipality.
