PROJECT: NSW Aboriginal Arts and Cultural Strategy
DATE: 2011 – 2017
LOCATION: NSW
CLIENT: Arts NSW (now Create NSW)

Kim Spinks, now director of City People, led the team that developed and implemented Stage 1 and Stage 2 of NSW’s first Aboriginal Arts and Cultural Strategy from 2011 – 2017.

Evaluations in 2016 of Stage 1 indicated that funding for Aboriginal arts in NSW had increased by 125% and audiences for associated activities and events had increased by 277%.

Qualitative research revealed an increased prominence and engagement with Aboriginal cultural identity in NSW. Creative and professional development programs funded through this Strategy increased the capacity of Aboriginal artists in NSW – particularly in the fields of visual arts, theatre and dance.
