In the lead up to the 2014 Regional Arts Australia Conference and in relation to the current resources boom we thought it might be good to get the conversation started about mining and it’s impact on community and culture, and vice versa.
South Australia is poised on the precipice of the Olympic Dam expansion whilst Queensland and Western Australia have longer histories of large remote mining projects and their investment in culture, arts and the community.
We will present three points of view, three opinions of the tensions and the mutual benefits of the relationships that have been forged between artists, arts organisations, council community development teams and the mining companies themselves.
