This paper argues that the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are a once-in-generation opportunity to shift Australia's global arts and culture standing. Drawing on three international case studies this paper describes the steps these nations took to leverage their hosting of the Games to achieve lasting cultural, social, and economic benefits.

This report demonstrates how partnerships help to ensure that all Australians can access and enjoy cultural and creative experiences, even in these tough times. It explores pathways for effective collaboration to help the cultural sector to evolve, meet future demands and drive social, cultural and economic benefits now and into the future.

The five opportunities outlined in this 2024 report draw on the evidence and analysis by ANA of available data, as well as a broader ambition for more effective collaboration and coordination, improved transparency through reporting and effective investment that secures cultural and creative opportunities in Australia.

This report analyses international and Australian evidence to understand the contribution of culture and creativity to productivity and demonstrate it can be enhanced through integrated, innovative policy design.

This paper provides examples of artificial intelligence (AI) that Australians are applying in arts, culture and creativity. It also discusses key foreseeable impacts of AI, which deserve attention from people and organisations considering whether and how to apply AI, and how to balance the risks and benefits of deploying AI within creative and cultural industries.
