Definition of arts and culture
Arts and culture includes all forms of creative expression, from individual to collective, from grassroots to
professional and institutional. These forms of expression frequently draw inspiration from the existing natural and
artificial landforms, built environments, belief systems and values which shape who we are - our local, regional and
national identities. By building on these foundations, arts and culture evolve, develop and enhance our cultural
identities.
