In recent times the notion of ‘cultural value’ has become a significant concern to policy makers. Cultural value is a broad concept and concerns those areas of social and individual ‘life’ where art and culture can have an impact or add value, beyond (but not excluding) the monetary. Significantly there is also the recognition that cultural value is inextricably linked to creativity and innovation, and that stimulating the arts and cultural sector can benefit all of society.
The Cultural Value in the Regions Symposium will bring together practitioners, policy makers and researchers to discuss a way forward for research in the arts and cultural sectors. It will also explore the concept of cultural value, as well as looking at ways of engaging the arts and cultural sectors in research. The Symposium aims:
- to provide an overview of the notion of cultural value, and its utility as a framework for thinking about the role of the arts and cultural sectors;
- to enhance awareness within the arts and cultural community and other interested stakeholders of the benefits of engaging with university research projects;
- to enhance awareness within the University of Tasmania of the research being done within the arts and cultural sectors; and
- to stimulate new industry/research and researcher collaborations and partnerships.
