Arts Mid North Coast
Arts Mid North Coast is the peak body for the arts, culture and creative industries 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 and registered charity governed by a Board made up of Local Government members, and community representatives.
Arts Mid North Coast is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW and are part of a network of 15 Regional Arts Development Organisations (RADOs) in NSW.
We are a small remote team based across the Mid North Coast.
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 regional creative capital. To achieve this we deliver and support a range of services, projects and programs aimed at creating opportunities for artists, encouraging community participation in the arts, and raising awareness of the region’s creativity and culture.
