Western Sydney Strategic Funding Program
The Western Sydney Strategic Funding Program invests in programs that provide opportunities for artists and cultural practitioners, and arts and cultural organisations based in Western Sydney.
As one of the fastest-growing sectors of the State’s economy, the creative industries can play a part in developing the region. Supporting culturally relevant, accessible arts programs is key to successful growth in Western Sydney. This will provide opportunities for artists and cultural practitioners and contribute to future employment and urban renewal.
