Arts Mid North Coast
Arts Mid North Coast is the peak regional arts and cultural development organisation for the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales. We service the five local government areas of Port Macquarie-Hastings, Kempsey, Nambucca Valley, Bellingen and Coffs Harbour on the traditional lands of the Biripi, Dunghutti and Gumbaynggirr Nations.
We are an independent not for profit organisation with DGR status supported by Create NSW and Mid North Coast Local Governments and are part of a network of 15 Regional Arts Development Organisations (RADOs) in NSW.
We are a small remote team, but we do a lot! We are governed by a Board made up of 5 representatives from our Council partners and up to six community members.
We put the arts and artists front and centre in all we do.
As the peak arts organisation for our region, we support and collaborate with government, communities, organisations, business and individuals to build capacity and create opportunities for the arts and creative industries.
Our vision is to grow the Mid North Coast as a vibrant and diverse region that embraces the creation, understanding and appreciation of the arts in fostering economic, community, cultural and environmental opportunities and benefits.
To achieve this we deliver a range of projects and programs aimed at creating opportunities for artists, encouraging community participation and raising awareness of the region’s creative and cultural offerings.
