One of our key goals is to proactively advocate for South Australia’s arts and cultural sector. AICSA will continue to advance and embed the sector’s role as a leading driver of the state’s cultural identity and reputation, innovation and growth, as well as wellbeing and social cohesion.
This is achieved in a number of ways including:
- Monitoring and responding to issues affecting the arts in South Australia.
- Representing and speaking with one voice on behalf of our members and the broader sector.
- Developing evidence-led positioning, advocacy and audience development campaigns.
- Equipping and upskilling our members and the broader sector to strengthen our individual and collective advocacy.
