Create NSW Feature stories

The NSW Government’s Createability Internship Program has been a transformative professional development experience for creatives with disability or who are d/Deaf, according to evaluation research conducted over three years with the program’s participants.  

Create NSW is investing in the future of Western Sydney’s creative communities with the launch of a new program that plays to the strengths of the region in cultivating innovative collaborations, nurturing talent, engaging audiences and unlocking creative spaces, paving the way for the next generation of artists and creative practitioners.

Creatives with disability looking to gain professional experience with leading NSW arts, screen and music organisations can now apply for accessible and inclusive internships for 2026.  

Building on the success of the breakthrough Createability Internship Program, Create NSW, Screen NSW and Sound NSW are increasing the investment and inviting organisations across NSW to become 2026 Createability host organisations. 

Create NSW is calling for applications for its first round of 2025-26 Regional Arts Touring Fund, to support homegrown arts and cultural producers eager to take their exceptional shows and exhibitions out on the road to every corner of NSW. 

Create NSW would like to congratulate Ali Tahayori, the recipient of the 2025 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) announced at the official exhibition launch at Artspace.

In July 2024, Gillian Kayrooz was awarded the prestigious NSW Visual Art Fellowship (Emerging). The Fellowship enabled her to undertake a self-directed professional development program, which took her to the SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) region to expand her networks as well as to further connect her to mentors back home.
