Forward Planning Survey 2019

We’re currently planning our next three year strategic plan and are inviting members of our local community to have their say on our key services and programs, by completing this brief survey.

ABOUT ANR

We are an independent not for profit organisation, supported by Create NSW and our six local governments - Ballina, Byron Shire, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore and Richmond Valley.

OUR VISION

OUR MISSION
To deliver services and projects that foster artistic innovation and excellence and work to ensure access and engagement with arts and cultural activity.
