The NSW Government's 10-year integrated policy for arts, culture and the creative industries 2024-2033.
On December 13, the NSW Government released the Creative Communities. The policy recognises the crucial place the arts, culture and creative industries inhabit in NSW.
It is an inclusive 10-year policy designed to support artists, creative and cultural organisations and includes creative industries for the first time. The policy also supports sustainably growing the creative industries and advocates for the value of culture, creativity and community.
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
The Creative Communities policy is built on the core objectives of people, infrastructure and Audiences, and how arts, culture and creative industries in our communities provides a chance for all elements to thrive.
