Our aim is for artists to have a greater involvement with the community as a way of enabling them and their art to make a greater contribution to the development of society. This can be achieved through a number of avenues underpinned by the importance of exposure, dialogue and contact. One of the routes is through art workshop programs designed to give children and young adults the opportunity to work with artists in order to develop their talents. Another is through opportunities for artists through participation and initiation of workshops, exhibitions, public art works, publications and exchanges.Approved
