Multicultural Arts and Mobility: A Queensland Perspective
BEMAC are honored to announce that they will be hosting a Multicultural Arts Round Table at Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts next Monday, November 9th 2009.
The theme for the roundtable is “Multicultural Arts and Mobility: A Queensland Perspective”
In attendance will be delegates from around Australia that make up the board of Kultour (the national touring body for Multicultural Arts) alongside representatives from government agencies including Brisbane City Council, Logan City Council, Arts Queensland, Australia Council for the Arts, regional Queensland, venues and presenters.
The roundtable has been designed as to provide a key opportunity to air and discuss the issues and opportunities that Queensland's culturally and linguistically diverse artists face. This is in conbination with the opprtunity for artists to ask questions of and listen to a panel of key industry representatives and artists with a range of touring experiences.
It is anticipated that this mini-conference will open up the dialogue for Multicultural Arts here in Queensland and that
some on-going relationships and opportunities will develop that see Queensland artists with more national and international opportunities.
