FAQs
- After reviewing all of the feedback from across the community, we saw an opportunity to create a long-term vision for how we deliver, partner and advocate for our creative community.
- The Creative Communities Framework is supported by an action plan which can be updated as we deliver new programs and projects each year.
- Throughout the framework are priorities that focus on supporting local artists and community and cultural groups.
- Some of this work will involve reimagining what we already do, and some will be a more long-term approach to building ways to grow our ‘creative ecology’.
- As a start, we will build networking opportunities, exhibition and public art opportunities and partner with community arts and cultural groups to see what is possible.
- Manningham has a long history of creative activity and has been home to significant artists and arts movements including the Heide Museum of Modern Art and Potters Cottage in Warrandyte.
- Our role in continuing this legacy is to deliver programs that are relevant to our community.
- Arts and culture also have positive wellbeing, liveability and economic development benefits. Access to arts and culture is part of a range of experiences that make Manningham a great place to live, work and visit.
