Our policy
Creative Communities outlines the NSW Government's 10-year policy framework from 2024-2033, that supports artists, creatives and cultural organisations, and expands to include the rapidly growing creative industries.
The policy commits to a whole-of-government approach to advocate for, invest in and enable the creative and cultural ecosystem across the state to realise its potential.
Creative Communities is grounded in five guiding principles:
- Prioritise First Nations culture
- Embrace the arts, culture and creative industries
- Advocate for the value of culture
- Support sustainable growth
- Take our creativity to the world and bring the world to our stories
