Recommendation 8 would see Council withdraw it's financial support for the arts and culture in Bendigo and surrounds.
Recommendation 8 would:
- see diminishing opportunities for not only the current generation of artists, writers, performers, musicians and film makers but also for those that follow,
- significantly cut the large tourist numbers our Art Gallery currently brings to the city and the dollars those tourists inject into our economy,
- deny access to some in our community including school groups, the elderly and those with an impairment to the arts,
- damage Bendigo's reputation for being a vibrant, sophisticated, progressive city and region.
These are just some of the effects of Recommendation 8. It's a regressive policy not a progressive one.
Sign this petition and say 'no' to Recommendation 8.
