Series 9 Australian Council for the Arts, 1973
Clark was appointed a member of the Literature Board of the Australian
Council for the Arts in early 1973 and remained on the Board until June
1974. The Board was chaired by Geoffrey Blainey. Clark presumably returned
most of the papers to the Board, but he retained two files containing
photocopies of notices of meetings, agenda papers, correspondence and
some grant applications. There is also one letter from the Chairman of
the Council, H.C. Coombs.
In 1975 the Australia Council replaced the Australian Council for the
Arts. Its function was to provide policy advice to the Commonwealth Government
on all the arts and to consider and allocate grants to artists and arts
organisations. Clark was a member of the Council from 1975 to 1978, but
he did not keep any papers on the work of the Council.
