The Australian Government has welcomed a renewed commitment to the national Visual Arts and Craft Strategy in partnership with the states and territories.

The Australian, state and territory governments have worked together through the Meeting of Cultural Ministers to revitalise the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, which has played a fundamental role in supplementing funding to the visual arts and craft sector since 2003.

The revitalised strategy will support contemporary visual arts and craft practitioners and organisations, and maintain a strong and dynamic visual arts and craft sector in Australia.
