Creative economy

Communities and audiences across the state will enjoy the exceptional calibre of homegrown creative talent with 51 NSW organisations funded to deliver diverse arts and cultural programming in the coming year.

A year after launching the state’s first arts, culture and creative industries policy, the NSW Government has made a range of key Board and Trust appointments to drive implementation of the policy and grow the creative industries in NSW. The appointments recognise the role the NSW Cultural Institutions play in supporting the arts and creative industries.

Ellen Ferrier, Ellie Hannon, Ali Noble, Vedika Rampal, Joel Sherwood Spring and Ali Tahayori have been named as the finalists for the Create NSW and Artspace 2025 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging).

The state’s artists and audiences are set to benefit with applications now open for a new initiative that will see small-to-medium, not-for-profit arts and cultural organisations connect with businesses to get their innovative creative-led ideas off the ground.

A career-expanding opportunity is now open for creative practitioners with disability or who are d/Deaf to gain hands-on experience and grow their professional network with some of NSW’s leading arts, screen and music organisations.
