Dr Susan Mackenzie, President PerfEx (Performance Exhibitions Lobby Group) told the Beagle "the Strategy is a document outlining Arts events and plans for the Shire. "There at last appears to be a trail of possible connections and a good smattering of Arts venues being developed across the Shire, and it is good news that a vision for the Arts in the Shire is emerging, but, as ever, with a Council document, community input is needed to ensure it is not all smoke and mirrors. "Do come along and have your say on the Arts in the Shire and the Draft Strategy – copies of it are in your local library and available on-line HERE
