Council established the Hume Arts Advisory Team (HAART) to provide assistance and advice to Council on arts and cultural issues and increase arts development in Hume City.  The role of HAART is to:

• provide strategic direction and advice in relation to arts and cultural policy, programs, facilities ans services;
• support Council with arts and cultural events;
• advocate on behalf of arts and cultural initiatives in Hume City;
• encourage networking of local arts and cultural organisations and artists; and
• contribute to the development of a thriving arts and cultural industry within Hume City.

Community Members will not only be selected on the basis of their work as artists.  Council seeks to appoint a cross-section of people that reflect the demographic, geographic and artistic diversity of Hume City.  Community Members will also be selected to ensure that HAART provides a broad range of skills and experience relevant to local arts development.

The Hume Arts Advisory Team will also consist of a Chairperson and/or Patron, Council’s Arts & Cultural Portfolio Councillor, and relevant Council Officers.

Community Members will be selected through an Expression of Interest process.  Anyone interested in joining HAART, or wanting more information about this new Advisory Committee, should contact Council’s Arts & Cultural Planner, Jacqueline Grenfell, on 9205 2467 or via email at jacquelineg@hume.vic.gov.au
