Cate Blanchett invites you to the 5th World Summit

Academy-Award winning Australian actor and Co-Artistic Director of the Sydney Theatre Company, Cate Blanchett, has provided a welcome message for 5th World Summit on Arts and Culture.

“The 5th World Summit on Arts and Culture will bring thinkers, provocateurs and arts policy leaders together to share stories about the arts and its role in our lives.

The Summit theme, Creative Intersections, acknowledges the arts as a thread. A thread that weaves and binds together the many different parts of our lives; health, family, commerce, humanity... It is this precious thread that helps shape our identity and binds together in a common spirit.

It is critically important that arts policy makers, the people who directly impart the lives of artists, find time to talk together. The Summit promises to be a creative global melting pot.

I encourage you to be in Melbourne for this important event.”

Cate Blanchett also appears in the World Summit invitation video also available from the Summit website. To register for the World Summit please visit www.artsummit.org
