TRC Cultural Plan 2022-26

Tablelands Regional Council is committed to fostering and celebrating the arts and cultural communities of our region and presenting its rich cultural heritage.

This commitment is documented through the TRC Cultural Plan 2018-2021 Embracing Our Cultures, Our Communities, Our Lands. (Refer to Document Library tab for link)

Idea:

Artist Mentoring

TRC could seek funding to develop an artist mentoring program. By training & paying established local artists to mentor young & early-career artists, it would enable both mentor & mentee to increase their confidence, foster connections, & take on leadership roles to increase the value & accessibility of the arts in their communities.

Idea:

Sculpture Trail

A Sculpture Trail in Herberton, created along one of the many walking tracks in the area. Featuring works by local sculptors, inspired by the area’s indigenous, post-colonial & natural heritage.

Idea:

Makers Shopfront training & mentoring program

A partnership between TRC, Makers Shopfront and Flying Arts Alliance, delivering a regional co-hosting program, would provide business skills & mentoring to enable local creatives to build profitable, sustainable careers. This can be delivered either in-person or online, making it more easily accessible to TRC communities.
