The 5th World Summit, to be held by the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) and the Australia Council for the Arts in Melbourne, Australia, 3-6 October 2011, under the theme Creative Intersections, will investigate how the arts can give voice to different communities and concerns through collaborations with other sectors such as business and the economy, new technologies, health and well-being, the environment, education and identity through Indigenous, local and global cultures.

The arts are a powerful agent for change and innovation, insight and reflection, individual and communal growth and cohesion and a sense of purpose. The Summit will investigate the relationship between artists and other sectors, including the cultural sector, government (public) agendas, community interests, private sector interests, etc.
