This report explores various trends in the arts in Western Sydney, utilising publicly accessible data, as well as data provided by Create NSW under a Freedom of Information request on 10 February, 2023. The report draws on data provided by Create NSW at the broad level at which it was supplied. Data requested of Create NSW for this report included: 1. NSW Cultural Arts Funding awarded, 2. grant applications, 3. grant recipients/awarded (including COVID-19 relief) and 4. Creative Kids providers and use of Creative Kids vouchers by LGA (2015 to 2021–22). The first three data points were supplied at a broad, top-level of detail, whereas the creative kids voucher data was excluded from the data pack provided to the team as this was not geographically classified for the spatial analysis required. The stakeholder consultations for this project were limited in scope due to the complexities of the sector and the availability of participants within the time parameters of this project. A series of one-on-one interviews were held by an invitation only process. Two workshops were facilitated with the Western Sydney Arts Alliance and included members of the Alliance as well as external arts and culture stakeholders. Furthermore, while the study sample of participants from the small to medium arts sector was broad, this project did not specifically target underrepresented groups for participation. This dataset is privately archived with Western Sydney University. To discuss the data, please contact the author Rhonda Itaoui r.itaoui@westernsydney.edu.au 0000-0002-1647-0109.
