Parramatta. The arts promote investment

The arts are important in promoting Parramatta and its image, offering increased potential for investments and attracting business. Council’s arts and culture project officer, Andrew Overton, has been awarded the prestigious Brendan Hartnett Award, at the NSW Local Government Cultural Awards. He was influential in the establishment of the Parramatta Artists’ Studios, the Connect performing arts hub, in the Connection Arcade, and the management of the new Parramatta Cultural Trust.
