  • Play an active role in the civic, political and cultural life of the city by supporting diversity and community engagement;
  • Continue to be a key contributor to strengthening the creative industries ecosystem;
  • Champion schemes like the Arts Industry Membership and under 30 pricing allowing young and industry members to experience some of the world's best national and international productions at a discounted price.
