Since the 1960s, the arts have played an important role in defining our nation's cultural identity and bringing diverse communities together.

The arts scene thrived as artists charted professional careers and arts groups grew in strength and numbers.

The foundations were laid by the 1989 Report of the Advisory Council on Culture and the Arts (ACCA) which paved the way forward.
