"More than $38.7million of initiatives to build and sustain Western Australia’s exciting arts and culture sector were launched. Culture and Arts Minister Sheila McHale said the seven initiatives, part of the $73million Ignite package, were designed to transform arts and culture activities in WA, and build a foundation for future growth. “Investment in the arts by Government and business is very important if we are to continue to transform this State into a culturally-rich and vibrant place,” Ms McHale said. The package includes two initiatives that are the first of their kind in Australia and will promote major productions and philanthropy."
