The planning work and engagement to date included seeking views on how the Showcase Leaders envisage the event taking place in 2021 and several new ideas were explored.

5. Refer to Question 1.

Arts–cultural diversity
(Question No 3070)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, upon notice, on 19 June 2020 (redirected to the Minister for the Arts, Creative Industries and Cultural Events):

(1) Which key arts organisations reflect multicultural ethnicity through curated programming that is managed by a board of ethnically diverse peoples.

(2) Which publicly-funded Arts Board best reflects the multicultural groups of the ACT.

Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) All Key Arts Organisations programs and services are funded by the ACT Government (artsACT) on the basis of access and participation across the community. The boards and staff of Key Arts Organisations are strongly encouraged to include members from diverse backgrounds.

artsACT do not currently record the ethnicity of board members of Key Arts Organisations.

(2) While artsACT receives reports from Key Arts Organisations including about board membership, it does not collect specific information on diversity.

Roads—traffic calming
