Culture panel to submit financial report

Minister of Planning and the Economy Dr Bhoe Tewarie told the panel, which held a meeting at his office yesterday once this task is over, “I hope we can hold your interest and commitment to do something further in the cultural and development life of the country.”

He said they were laying the foundation for making culture a centrepiece in the development of the economy.

“Culture must be a development tool rather than simply as culture for the sake of culture,” he said.

The main purpose of the panel is to advance arts and cultural projects in a comprehensive manner within the framework of “investing in cultural heritage and sustainable development.”

Its main objectives include to develop products and services for the local and export markets, generate high quality jobs, and deepen the relationship between local communities and society on the management of cultural issues.

The Panel includes Media & Culture Specialist Dr Kris Rampersad, Masman Peter Minshall, Musician Pat Bishop among others.
