Arts Policy consultation

Adopted 15 July

Inclusion of art during the development phase of Council projects is now being encouraged, along with exploring potential new arts partnerships, thanks to the new Arts Policy adopted on 15 July . The policy grew out of the Nelson Tasman Regional Arts Strategy and sets out what Council will do in Nelson to implement the strategy.
