Council’s three-year plan for arts and culture intends to recognise, support and promote the diversity of lifestyle, backgrounds and creative expression of the communities of Townsville by encouraging understanding and appreciation of culture in all its forms whatever its social or national origin.
Respectful that arts and cultural expression and a creative approach to life have a role to play in often unconsidered arenas such as responsible governance and care for the environment, implementation of the Townsville Arts and Culture Strategic Action Plan will contribute to council’s goals of Social and Economic Sustainability.
The program aims to support emerging Year 11 Townsville orchestral musicians with the costs of tuition and professional development. Council delivers this scholarship in partnership with the Australian Festival of Chamber Music. Read more.
