Thank you
 Since September the Arts Office has been engaged in a process of public consultation on the arts. Through a series of public meetings, an online survey, stakeholder interviews and written submissions the Arts Office team learnt a great deal about the arts and cultural needs, successes and aspires of our dlr community. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the process so far, and we look forward to presenting a draft of the dlr Arts Strategy 2011- 2014 for your consideration and comment early next year.
