NWT Arts Strategy
The Northwest Territories Arts Strategy, "A Holistic Approach to a Vibrant
Arts Sector," was released on November 1, 2004 by Education,
Culture and Employment (ECE) Minister Charles Dent and Resources, Wildlife and
Economic Development (RWED) Minister Brendan Bell.
The Strategy addresses the effectiveness of current programs supporting the arts
and identifies an action plan to provide for emerging needs. This Strategy will
move us towards achieving our vision,
“To secure the stability of a vibrant Arts sector that is integral to the
economic, social, and cultural fabric of the NWT, and contributes positively to
the quality of life within the NWT.”
This strategy represents the Government of the Northwest Territories'
recognition of the important role that arts and fine crafts plays in both our
society and our economy, and demonstrates our commitment to take action to
address identified issues and opportunities in this sector.
