Join Cardinia Shire’s Arts and Culture Reference Group

Cardinia Shire Council is inviting enthusiastic community members to join the Arts and Culture Reference Group.

The group aims to enrich the cultural landscape of the shire by incorporating diverse perspectives and ideas into arts and culture initiatives.

The Arts and Culture Reference Group will play a vital role in shaping Cardinia’s vision for arts and culture across the municipality and provide invaluable insights, advocacy and specialised knowledge to arts and culture related initiatives. Members will collaborate to promote community arts, support local artists, and strengthen the cultural fabric of Cardinia Shire.

Nominations are welcome from people with strong connections to Cardinia Shire, who live, work or play within the municipality and have an interest in arts and culture, including artists, performers, educators, and community leaders. The group will meet regularly to discuss ongoing projects, share new ideas, and foster collaboration among local creatives.

Interested community members can nominate themselves or someone else via a quick online form, including a brief statement outlining their experience and interest in arts and culture. Nominations can be made by visiting www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/acrg

Applications close on Sunday, 11 May 2025.

For more information about the Arts and Culture Reference Group, please visit www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/acrg
