Editor's Notes
- #3 The Policy Framework sets out a strategy for supporting and investing in arts and culture across NSW. The Policy Framework is designed to provide Arts NSW with an overarching strategy to guide the agency’s work in areas such as infrastructure and funding, as well as providing a platform for a strategic leadership role in embedding arts and culture across NSW Government policies and programs. To inform the direction of the policy, we released a discussion paper Framing the Future and started the conversation through written submissions, public workshops across NSW and set up an online community via the Have Your Say website. The Minister for the Arts appointed a policy reference group in 2013 to provide a broader arts sector perspective on the development of the policy. The group included Scott Howie, the Regional Arts Development Officer from Eastern Riverina Arts, Professor Deb Stevenson from the University of Western Sydney, Lisa Havilah, CEO Carriageworks, artist Ben Quilty and Chris Freeland, Chair of the Sydney Film Festival. Create in NSW was launched in Feb 2015. It is the first time the NSW Government has developed a long-term strategy for arts and culture. It is supported by the NSW Government, which will help Arts NSW create new platforms for cultural outcomes.
- #4 The Arts and Cultural Development Framework identifies a number of key projects that contribute directly to supporting the growth of the arts and cultural sector in regional NSW. Mapping Regional NSW involves mapping the arts and cultural landscape in regional NSW to inform policy, planning and investment Scoping opportunities for cultural infrastructure involves at looking at how to create liveable communities and contribute to the visitor economy with the creation of arts precincts Promote regional arts and culture in destination management planning – we are developing a best practice guide for Destination Management Planning in regional NSW. Promote regional arts excellence: Arts NSW is providing two Regional Fellowships, and Young Regional Artist Scholarships, and will develop a new four-year program to promote regional arts excellence throughout NSW (building on Artlands). Enhance and extend loan arrangements, programming partnerships and regional touring with the state cultural institutions These projects complement our existing arts funding program, the Arts and Cultural Development Program. In 2015 the NSW Government announced $19 million in funding to enrich NSW arts and culture. This included significant program funding for organisations in regional NSW, such as the Albury Library Museum, the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, Northern Rivers Performing Arts, and the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo, among many others.
