As adopted by Council on 28 February 2013 8. Arts 8.1. Visual Arts There are lots of reasons that people enjoy visual arts, both contemporary and historical. You may want to see beauty or appreciate expertise, or understand another view of the world, perhaps quirky or challenging. In a society bombarded with visual images particularly from advertising and on the Internet, the concept of ‘visual literacy”, understanding how images are constructed and what they can mean, is also of educational importance to young and old alike. 8.1.1 Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery Despite its restricted size, the Regional Art Gallery installs up to 16 exhibitions each year featuring significant Australian artists and promoting regional or emerging artists in a small Featured Artist space. The Gallery has its own national acquisitive art prize for still life painting – the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award (EMSLA). It hosts musical events, opera recitals, poetry readings and many other cultural events and an education program. There were approximately 18,000 attendances at the Gallery in the last year. It is proposed that extended facilities should be built for the Regional Art Gallery, in particular new and expanded facilities for larger exhibitions, a workshop space for schools programs; and public programs should also be considered. Currently many of the exhibitions which are shown are not able to be shown in full because of the limited wall space at the existing facility, although the fees paid to the supplying organization remain the same. Without a display or retail space in the current gallery, educational and other material which accompanies exhibitions, such as catalogues, cannot be made available. In terms of access by visitors and residents, a gallery has a particular advantage in that is open for a large number of hours most or every day and can also be used in the evenings. The Gallery has a significant program of musical performances, and in a larger facility with proper acoustic design, this program could also be expanded. The capacity to display new media art (for definition see Attachment B) would both demonstrate the value of the NBN in Coffs Harbour and highlight the application of technology to art in a way which shows the contemporary insights of the Coffs Harbour community. New media art includes art which uses technology to display artworks, but also includes art which incorporates live streaming, simultaneous events and, in particular, interactive online activities. Large screens and excellent connectivity will be essential. For a Page 29
