Resources could be used for performances, public art creation, festivals, the development of new work through the participation of schools and civic groups, or to pay for individual artists and larger institutions to enrich their connections to or representations of local communities. Grant support should also pay careful attention to projects or public activity rooted in prior engagement or historical activity – activity that has some legacy and can now be expanded or made into something more sustainable. Funding innovation and funding the creation of sustainable creative activity and representation are not in conflict. Most importantly, resources should support organic.
