Somerset’s new art committee
Seven community members have been appointed to a newly established Arts, Culture and Heritage Advisory Committee.
The committee was established by Somerset Regional Council, and aims to promote and maintain passion for the local culture of art and services.
The new committee supersedes three previous committees, The Condensery Advisory Committee, Regional Arts Development Fund Committee and the Somerset Civic Centre Advisory Committee.
Somerset Deputy Mayor Helen Brieschke thanked previous committee representatives and welcomed new members, who had been appointed following an Expression of Interest call-out.
“The new members strike a balance between arts, culture and heritage interests across Somerset and we look forward to working with them on this new holistic advisory committee,” Cr Brieschke said.
Somerset residents Gail Bawden, Jim Filmer, Gracie-Dawn Lewis, Naomi McKenzie, Vicki Sweedman, Dr Sandi Hook and ChloeAnn Williamson have been appointed.
