Arts & Cultural Sector
in Regional NSW.
Regional Arts NSW is a non-government, peak body organisation with the goal of creating a strong arts ecosystem across regional NSW.
We partner with the network of Regional Arts Development Organisations (RADOs) and other regionally-based arts organisations located across NSW. The RADOs provide direct support for the artists that live in their region and work to build resilient communities through arts and cultural development.
As their peak body, we support them in their work by focusing on three strategic pillars: Advocacy, Support and Leadership.
Help us nurture creative communities across regional NSW.
