Two brief though important news items for the arts in the ACT:

• as part of ‘new administrative arrangements for the ACT‘, the Childers Group understands that artsACT has been moved from the Community Services Directorate to the Economic Development Directorate. Ms Joy Burch remains the Minister for the Arts; and
• the ACT Government’s ACT Arts Policy Framework is up for review this year – here’s hoping there will be plenty of opportunities for the arts sector and the community to have a say in the next version of the policy document.
