Storylines: Project Photo

Griffith City Council does not see community art and artistic excellence as mutually exclusive. Indeed, CCD can challenge our concepts of arts in a local government and regional setting. This photo taken at Youth Arts Kulture stage by a young person of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. The young person has captured that moment of a youth arts festival where it is sunny, shiney, happy and safe...it's almost art by stealth! behind the photographer was an exhibition of youth art and to the photographers left is a stage with a live band playing original music. CCD can bring all of these elements togther, place them in the main street and provide avenues for community celebration, diversity and identity building.

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
