A regional arts organisation supporting hundreds of artists on the South Coast of NSW is speaking out after being disadvantaged by recent funding changes at Create NSW – nor is it alone.
South Coast Arts is one of 15 Regional Arts Development Organisations (RADOs) in NSW which, collectively, directly support their regions’ artists – across all creative practices – via a range of cultural development programs. The newest RADO in the network, South Coast Arts covers the local government areas of Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven, and supports artists living in and around the likes of Berry, Gerringong, Gerroa, Jamberoo, Kiama, Nowra, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Ulladulla and Werri Beach.
