‘We will look at art and culture from the very grassroots of expression through to the elite. We will look at support for the arts and culture from government funding and the box office through to the role of private philanthropists and the business community in offering support that makes the arts thrive and grow. And in all of this is the need to listen as well as talk to find a balance between the artist and the audience, between hearing our voices and those of the world, between the grassroots and the professional, and between the rights of the artist to a livelihood and the rights of the public to enjoy the rich cultural products Australia has to offer.'
(From 'The importance of being creative' by Cate Blanchett and Julianne Schultz, Sydney Morning Herald, 16 April, 2008).
Each applicant must bring to their interview:
- A passport-sized photo of themselves
