Arts NSW

Arts NSW

Arts NSW is the NSW Government's arts policy and funding body and is a part of the Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services (NSW Trade & Investment).

Arts NSW provides advice to the Minister for the Arts on how to sustain and develop arts and culture in the State and contribute to broader government policy objectives.

Through Arts NSW, the department supports NSW to be a vibrant, dynamic and creative place that values artists, cultural heritage, and enriches communities.

Arts NSW works to ensure that artists flourish and the State's economy is strengthened by the capacity of its creative sector. Through policy development and implementation, funding, and research, we support and develop strong arts programs, solid cultural infrastructure and implement initiatives that assist artists and creative practitioners.
