About the Ipswich Arts Advisory Group

The Ipswich Arts Advisory Group (IAAG) is a dedicated collective of volunteer community leaders committed to fostering the growth of Ipswich’s creative sector. As a key initiative of the Creative Industries Action Plan, the IAAG works to:

  • Promote arts and culture across Ipswich.
  • Provide strategic advice to Ipswich City Council on arts and cultural priorities.
  • Foster connections that create opportunities for creative professionals.
  • Amplify the voice of Ipswich’s arts community in council discussions.
Following a successful first term, Ipswich City Council strengthened its commitment to the arts by expanding the IAAG in May 2025. The group now includes eleven members, each bringing unique insights and experiences from across the creative sector. This broader representation ensures the group can continue to contribute to a vibrant and inclusive cultural future for Ipswich
