With a new Arts Agenda adopted to foster and grow Hamilton’s arts sector, from today Council is seeking expressions of interest for roles leading the new Arts Forum.

People interested in being part of the arts community’s new leadership group should have experience in the sector, a range of skills, and be committed to its enhancement across the city.
