The artbeat: Regional Arts and Culture Strategy 2010-2014 is the Arts Portfolio's five-year policy and action plan for supporting arts and cultural development in Queensland's regional communities.
"Regional" is defined as remote, rural, provincial and metropolitan communities outside of the Brisbane City Council boundaries.
The artbeat vision is: "Arts and culture are at the heart of regional communities, growing creativity and building connection and a sense of identity and place".
The strategy has five goals: Stronger communities; Participation; Arts and cultural practice; Skills, knowledge and networks; and Creative spaces and places.
Actions have been developed to deliver on these goals over five years.
Three versions of the strategy are available for download:
The Regional Exchange webpage includes information about key artbeat actions being undertaken by the Arts Portfolio, as well as a range of resources relevant to arts and culture in regional communities.
The Local Government Arts and Culture Reference Group supports Arts Queensland in the implementation of the strategy.
A Senior Advisor Arts and Culture based at the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) works with councils across the state.
