'''Create NSW'''
{{as of |May 2020}}, the executive team is headed by Kate Foy (Deputy Secretary, Community Engagement), Chris Keely (Executive Director, Create NSW) and Grainne Brunsdon (Head of Screen NSW). The agency advises the [[Minister for the Arts (New South Wales)|Minister for the Arts]].<ref name="Gazette 2021">{{Gazette NSW |title=Parliament, Ministerial, Courts and Police |issue=662 |date=21 December 2021 |url=https://gazette.legislation.nsw.gov.au/so/download.w3p?id=Gazette_2021_2021-662.pdf}}</ref> Ultimately, the Minister is responsible to the [[Parliament of New South Wales]].
==History==
===Arts minister role===
The role of an "arts" minister, overseeing the management and support for all cultural activities in New South Wales, before the early 1970s was an unheard of concept in politics. However, by the early 1970s, various governments in Australia recognised the need for a steering authority for state support for the arts. In response, premier [[Bob Askin]] appointed [[George Freudenstein]] as the first Minister for Cultural Activities on 11 March 1971. On his appointment Freudenstein requested the establishment of an organisation to enable him to carry out his responsibilities and the Premier agreed. On 13 May 1971 the Ministry of Cultural Activities was established, taking over responsibility for various legislation and bodies that had previously been under the purview of the [[Department of Education (New South Wales)|Department of Education]], including the [[NSW State Records|Archives Office of New South Wales]], [[Art Gallery of New South Wales]], [[State Library of New South Wales]], [[Australian Museum]], [[Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences]], [[Sydney Observatory]], the Advisory Committee on Cultural Grants, [[Screen NSW|NSW Film Council]], and the [[Sydney Opera House]] Trust. In the case of the opera house, the Ministry had responsibility for its completion and final official opening on 20 October 1973.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ministry of Cultural Activities |url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/404 |website=NSW State Records |publisher=NSW Government |accessdate=18 September 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930083450/http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/404 |archivedate=30 September 2015
With Freudenstein's departure on 3 January 1975, a new Minister for Culture, Sport and Recreation was appointed and on 6 January 1975, the Ministry of Cultural Activities was replaced by the new Department of Culture, Sport and Recreation.<ref name=CSR>{{cite web|title=Department of Culture, Sport and Recreation |url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/403 |website=NSW State Records |publisher=NSW Government |accessdate=18 September 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930180811/http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/403 |archivedate=30 September 2015
On 15 June 1988 a Ministry for the Arts independent of the Premier's Department was established.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ministry for the Arts |url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/3630 |website=NSW State Records |publisher=NSW Government |accessdate=18 September 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150929221445/http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/3630 |archivedate=29 September 2015

===2006: Arts NSW created===
This Ministry for the Arts was abolished on 3 March 2006 and its responsibilities were moved to the new [[New South Wales Department of the Arts, Sport and Recreation|Department of the Arts, Sport and Recreation]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Department of the Arts, Sport and Recreation |url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/5059 |website=NSW State Records |publisher=NSW Government |accessdate=18 September 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150929203818/http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/5059 |archivedate=29 September 2015
Between 2014 and 2020, the organisation was shuffled through four departments.<ref name=conversation>{{cite web | last=Wake | first=Caroline | title=Carriageworks was in trouble before coronavirus - but this crisis could be an opportunity | website=The Conversation | date=7 May 2020 | url=http://theconversation.com/carriageworks-was-in-trouble-before-coronavirus-but-this-crisis-could-be-an-opportunity-137888 | access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref>
===2017: Create NSW===
Create NSW was created via an amalgamation of Arts NSW and Screen NSW on 1 April 2017.<ref
The agency fell within the Arts, Screen and Culture Division of the [[Department of Planning and Environment (New South Wales)|Department of Planning and Environment]] (abolished on 1 July 2019<ref name="gazette-20190402admin"/>) at the time of the publication of its 2018 ''Cultural Infrastructure Plan 2025+''.<ref name=plan2025>{{cite web|url=https://www.create.nsw.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/CIP_Accessible.pdf|title= Cultural Infrastructure Plan 2025+ |publisher=Government of New South Wales|date=2018}}</ref> As a result of a government restructure in April 2019 after a state election, Create NSW

*a reduction in the assessment criteria for funding applications from 26 to 3; and

In addition, the requirement that an organisation had to receive project funding for three consecutive years in order to qualify for annual funding was dropped.<ref name=artshub2019>{{cite web | last=Fairley | first=Gina | title=Rethinking NSW Arts Funding to put the sector first | website=ArtsHub Australia | date=28 June 2019 | url=https://www.artshub.com.au/news-article/sponsored-content/grants-and-funding/gina-fairley/rethinking-nsw-arts-funding-to-put-the-sector-first-258290 | access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref>
In September 2019, a restructuring of the leadership team of Create NSW led to the resurrection of the Screen NSW brand, and Grainne Brunsdon appointed head of that team, which remains part of Create NSW.<ref name=if2019/>
==Structure, role and activities==
===Role and organisational structure===
Create NSW is "the NSW Government’s arts, screen and culture development, policy and infrastructure planning and delivery body".<ref name=plan2025>{{cite web|url=https://www.create.nsw.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/CIP_Accessible.pdf|title= Cultural Infrastructure Plan 2025+ |publisher=Government of New South Wales|date=2018}}</ref>
It also provides secretarial and administrative support to the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee, a high-level committee which works with the government to help shape policy and promote the arts throughout the state.<ref name=about/>
{{as of|May 2020}}, the executive team is headed by Kate Foy (Deputy Secretary, Community Engagement), Chris Keely (Executive Director, Create NSW) and Grainne Brunsdon (Head of Screen NSW), along with seven other members of the team.

===Infrastructure and properties===
{{as of|2020}}, Create NSW's infrastructure redevelopment projects included: [[Artspace Visual Arts Centre|Artspace]], [[Theatre Royal, Sydney|Theatre Royal]], the [[Australian Museum]], [[Riverside Theatres]], the new [[Powerhouse Museum]], Sydney Opera House renewal, expansion of the Art Gallery of NSW ("Sydney Modern Project"), and [[Walsh Bay Arts Precinct]]. The Regional Cultural Fund is also under infrastructure.<ref>{{cite web | title=Cultural Infrastructure | website=Create NSW | date=5 July 2017 | url=https://www.create.nsw.gov.au/category/cultural-infrastructure/ | access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref>

===Arts organisations and festivals===
The NSW performing arts sector includes 11 of Australia’s major performing arts organisations
Create NSW provides support for four major cultural festivals: the [[Biennale of Sydney]], the [[Sydney Festival]], the [[Sydney Film Festival]], and the [[Sydney Writers' Festival]].<ref
==Funding for the arts in NSW==
Because of the changes in name and organisational structure over the years, funding by Create NSW is difficult to track, but in 2013–14, Arts NSW allocated {{AUD|53}} million to arts and cultural development, and in 2018–9, {{AUD|55.4}} million in arts grants. In addition, the 2018–9 Cultural Infrastructure Plan allocated {{AUD|645}} million to the new [[Powerhouse Museum]] in [[Parramatta]], and large amounts to the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, Art Gallery of NSW’s Sydney Modern Project, Sydney Opera House renovations, the Riverside Theatres redevelopment, the Regional Cultural Fund, and expansion of the Australian Museum, totalling {{AUD|1.6}} billion on infrastructure. After so much spending on buildings, there was less left for spending on either commissions by artists or emergencies. Owing to the impact of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Australia]], special sector support packages were provided by the governments of [[Government of South Australia|South Australia]] ({{AUD|1.5}} million), [[Queensland Government|Queensland]] ({{AUD|8}} million) and [[Government of Victoria|Victoria]] ({{AUD|16.8}} million), while {{as of|lc=yes|May 2020}} Create NSW had only redirected {{AUD|2}} million of its existing budget to support the arts during the crisis.<ref name=conversation/>
