The success of the Sculpture Down the Lachlan art trail resulted in an award for Forbes Shire Council (FSC) at the recently held 2022 Local Government Week Awards.
FSC won the Leo Kelly OAM Arts & Culture Award (Division A – population less than 30,000) for its contribution to the Sculpture Down the Lachlan trail expansion project. The Forbes Arts Society celebrated the win with Council saying FSC was not only a funding partner, but also provided support on a practical level with planning permission, land use and risk management, as well as promotion.
