Creative Production Hubs Scoping Study

Arts Queensland is undertaking a study to scope the development of a Creative Production Hub to support small and mid scale performing arts in Queensland. This study will scope new mechanisms to strengthen and enrich small and mid scale performing arts, increase reach across the state and grow audiences.

In June 2008 Arts Queensland published a discussion paper into the potential for a Creative Production Hub for the performing arts in Queensland. Submissions to this paper were invited, and 16 were received by the closing date. A number of these responses are now published on the Arts Queensland website with the author’s permission. A selection of responses that sum up respondents’ prevailing issues and views has been published, with minimal editing.
