2007 should deliver some fantastic events that will live for a long time in the memory of all those that take part as audiences or creators.
|
|
It should also be the year that we all realise the value that arts and culture add to the quality of our life in the Highlands. We should enjoy them for their own sake, for the part they play in the education and confidence of our children and for the draw they give our region in attracting talented incomers - who will play a part in the future development of our region's sustainability.
|
|
To achieve these goals 2007 has to be the catalyst for our public agencies (local authorities and enterprise network) to start planning arts and culture in a serious manner. That will mean planning in partnership with each other and crucially, in partnership with our cultural experts - our performers, creators, promoters and venues.
|
|
We have to use that planning to tie our national agencies into our plans well beyond 2007. It is vital that these agencies don't deliver for 2007 and then walk away but that they continue to see arts and culture in the Highlands as part of delivering their long term agendas. We can only do that with serious planning that involves all our experts.
