Mobilising rural communities to achieve environmental sustainability using the arts

David Curtis

Agricultural Economics Review, 2006, vol. 07, issue 1

Abstract: Australia’s environment continues to worsen in several key areas. This paper suggests that the visual and performing arts may be valuable in influencing environmental behaviour positively, at the individual and community level. The arts can aid engagement and participation by a broad cross section of the community, and can provide powerful vehicles for community mobilisation, empowerment, and information transfer.
