Introduction

Supported by Creative Victoria, the inaugural Victorian Regional Centre for Culture is being held in one of Victoria's key regional cultural hubs, encompassing the City of Greater Bendigo, Mount Alexander Shire, Central Goldfields Shire and Hepburn Shire, shining a spotlight on local creativity, culture and events.

The aims of the Regional Centre for Culture are to:

- Recognise and profile the rich history and contemporary presence of Victoria’s Aboriginal people.

- Deliver economic benefit through generating cultural attractions which drive tourism.

- Create increased local access to creative experiences in regional communities, including smaller communities.

- Create significant new works that tell local stories.

- Facilitate capacity building opportunities for local creative practitioners and organisations.

As the year draws to a close, it is a great time to hear from artists and other stakeholders who have been involved in one or more of the Regional Centre for Culture events.

Effective Change Pty Ltd has been appointed by Creative Victoria to evaluate the Regional Centre for Culture initiative and is conducting this survey. 

The survey seeks feedback about your experience of the Regional Centre for Culture, and your reflections on the Regional Centre for Culture. As an initiative which has aimed to provide more creative experiences in regional Victoria, and build the capacity of local creative practitioners, it is vital to hear from those who have been involved.

The survey is anonymous and results will be reported in aggregate and any comments reported will not be identifiable. However, you also have the option of providing your name at the end of the survey and therefore consenting to comments being directly attributed to you.

It will take about 5 - 10 minutes to complete the survey, but may vary depending on your responses to open-ended questions. 

If you have any questions or comments about this survey, please feel free to contact:
