Cultural Asset Mapping...and other sexy stuff!

Ok so it may sound rather er, less riveting than watching well a dreadful opera, but if you have ever, like me, needed to seek out market information about this little thing we call showbiz, or say any other types of arts, this site would of proved a god send!

Thank you to the wonderful artist who passed it my way...

CAMRA (Cultural Asset Mapping in Regional Australia) is a major Australian Research Council and industry funded project which aims to provide planners, policy-makers and local communities with the information they need to plan for a future in regional Australia that integrates the effective development of the arts and cultural industries.

The project runs for five years from 2008 to 2013 and is a partnership between seventeen organisations, including four universities.

The aims are

1. developing sustainable models of data collection and documentation that map local cultural industries using a range of methodologies specifically appropriate to regional, rural and remote settings in Australia;
2. building a GIS and relational database to store this information and allow it to be interrogated, analysed and used at local, regional and peak levels by a variety of users;
3. enabling systemised interactions between national and international experts in cultural development through this culturemap.org.au online (and offline) community as a key site for knowledge exchange and storage.
