LORD MAYOR'S MESSAGE

Font Size: A A A

Artists are vital to the lifeblood of a City. The creative and cultural life of the Sydney is a very important part of the Sustainable Sydney 2030 Vision. The City of Sydney plays a critical role in developing opportunities for artists to reflect contemporary life presenting innovative ideas for the City's communities to engage with.

 

The need for a vibrant cultural life was voiced loudly by the community during the extensive consultation undertaken for Sustainable Sydney 2030. Residents and stakeholders from all parts of our City demanded a place for artists and art in our City.

 

I am delighted to see the City broaden its focus on art and engaging with artists reflected in the new City Art Creative Framework. This builds on our existing public art policy and includes important actions to recognise Aboriginal culture and heritage in the public domain. It also places a stronger focus on the importance of temporary public art projects as a way to provide for community cultural expression and engagement on contemporary issues. The City is proud to support Sydney's vibrant arts culture.
