Sally Basser

 

Additionally, Sally Basser from the Office of the Arts came to talk about the proposed National Cultural Policy. The last cultural policy was over 20 years ago with Creative Nation. This was a fantastic opportunity to hear about what is included in the proposed policy and how to ensure that museums, galleries, visual arts and heritage organisations are part of this important conversation. You can find more about the draft policy at http://culture.arts.gov.au/discussion-paper
