Create NSW provides funding support to 15 Regional Arts Development Organisations (RADOs) across regional NSW.

The primary purpose of a RADO is to support artists and arts organisations as an essential part of a region's creative community.

RADOs work to achieve this by providing services for:

• Artists - helping them to thrive by achieving artistic and business goals.
• Communities - building capacity for communities to develop their own projects to create social connections and wellbeing.
• Local Councils - working with local councils to support their work in:
  • Tourism
  • Economic Development
  • Community, Cultural and Strategic Planning
  • Cultural Infrastructure.
