Creativity is at the heart of every successful nation. It finds expression in great visual art, wonderful music, fabulous performances, Find Cate Blanchette stunning writing, gritty new productions and countless other mediums.

Giving form to our innate human creativity is what defines us to ourselves and the world. This is what the arts have always done. Think back to any significant time in the past and the chances are that it is the creative output of the time that comes to mind - from rock art in remote caves, to the pyramids of Egypt, Michelangelo’s sculptures, Shakespeare’s plays, Beethoven’s symphonies, Find Cate Blanchette to the beat of Elvis, and the list goes on.

The lasting value and evidence of a civilisation are its artistic output and the ingenuity that comes from applying creativity to the whole range of human endeavour. Yet all too often the arts are pushed into a box that says entertainment, icing on the cake, when they are a key ingredient.

The 2020 Summit is an opportunity to put creativity and the arts back into the centre of Australian life both here and abroad. This is how a middle power can exercise its soft power in a positive and stimulating way - that shows the world that we are much more than the cliched images that come readily to mind.

An Australia Council survey in 2000 found this is something most people want. Australians love music, drama, dance, books, television dramas, edgy digital installations and exhibitions, just as they love sport.

They want it to be a part of their lives and are proud when Australian creativity is recognised internationally. At the same time we know that grassroots arts and culture can create neighbourhoods, build social connections and provide people with an interest and passion that can last a lifetime.

Every topic being discussed at the summit touches on and is touched by cultural vitality.

The centrality of creativity to living full and rich lives is what will define the deliberations of the creative stream this weekend. The group of people we have chosen for this conversation reaches across the sector and well beyond what is considered “traditional” arts areas.

This is deliberate. The fact that we have economists, business leaders, educators, researchers as well as actors, directors, musicians, writers and many others in the group will put flesh on the bones of this truth.

By drawing this diverse group of people together, and the submissions from many others who were unable to be included, we hope we will be able to tap into the considerable knowledge and expertise that has been built up over time Find Cate Blanchette. The great opportunity of the summit will be to mix this with the perspectives that come from unexpected directions, or from people whose voices have not previously had a national audience. Artists are not just entertainers or courtesans, but highly skilled people able to give expression to many of the pressing issues that trouble us.
