Beyond Cultural Policy conference, July 2003
Presented by the City of Port Phillip and the Cultural Development Network
Governments and organisations today are adjusting the way they determine the success of their communities. No longer is the economic bottom line considered the sole indicator. Social, environmental and, increasingly, cultural factors are acknowledged as having equal weight in determining policy and evaluating programs. The challenges and potential rewards for organisations, from global corporations to local governments, that integrate the cultural dimension as a core policy driver, are enormous. This symposium investigated cultural vitality as an indicator of community and organisational sustainability and well-being. It also considered avenues available to those wishing to incorporate cultural considerations within the policy frameworks of their organisations.

Judy Spokes' overseas travel 2005
Judy's received an Australia Council Skills Development Grant to enable her to attend the First International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability, in Oahu Hawaii in February 2005. She made a second trip to make a presentation at the ‘Cultural Future of Small Cities’ conference in Kamloops Canada in May 2005, and visit relevant agencies in Canada and the USA. Judy shared ideas and common interests with a similar local government cultural development network as CDN, the Creative City Network of Canada – and through that organisation a number of other community and council-based arts programs and officers.
She also visited San Francisco and Seattle, meeting with key people in community cultural development and council arts programs in those cities. These included Sharon Kravitz, the Chair of the Vancouver Community Arts Council, and a long time community cultural worker at the Carnegie Centre in the deeply disadvantaged region of the DownTown East side of Vancouver; David Diamond, Director of Headlines Theatre and a colleague of Augusto Boal noted for his innovative work in ‘theatre of the oppressed’; Susan Gordon and her fabulous team at the Roundhouse Community Arts Centre in a rejuvenated dockside area of Vancouver; Dr Tressa Berman from Borderzone Arts based in San Francisco and Lisa Fitzhugh, founding Director of ArtsCorps, a program of artist/teacher residencies for disadvantaged children and young people in partnership with a range of educational and community agencies in Seattle.
