A local dad with two young teenagers living in Point Chev. I’m focused on what artistic prospects are available to kids. I have a strong interest in creating better opportunities for young creatives in our neighbourhood. Pushing for a good suburban arts strategy to benefit young people in developing their talent locally with their peers and professionally to the wider world. Looking for policies that grow and develop a creative environment for young artists to flourish. With no real suburban arts strategy, young performers are missing out on being on the same playing field as each other. Without spending tons of money, there are lots of ways council can serve artists better.
