Central Coast Council is calling on the community to complete a short survey to help inform the development of a new 10-year Public Art Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The survey is the first step in a community engagement program that will be rolled out in March and April, talking with local community, groups, artists and creatives, industry professionals and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an opportunity to shape the approach to public art which will place the community, and its creative practitioners at the heart of the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Council\u2019s Administrator, Rik Hart said the Public Art Plan is one example of how Council is growing and supporting local creatives, creative industries, and fostering a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
