First Nations Creatives Survey

The First Nations Creatives Survey is being run to better understand the experiences, needs, and aspirations of First Nations creatives in the Blue Mountains.

The feedback will help guide future creative opportunities, programs, and ways of working that are respectful, inclusive, and led by community priorities.

By sharing your views, you are helping inform how Council and partners can better support First Nations creatives, strengthen cultural visibility, and create meaningful opportunities now and into the future.
