MAJOR funding boost from Create NSW will help the Tweed Regional Museum deliver new programs, expand its reach and support regional artists for the next four years.<\/p>\n

The museum has secured $185,000 per year in multi-year funding plus an extra $98,600 from Create NSW’s Cultural Access for its new Museum on Wheels exhibition, Connected: Signal to the Stars, now in development.<\/p>\n

Museum director Molly Green said the funding would support the museum’s commitment to challenging traditional museology and delivering exceptional experiences for regional audiences.<\/p>\n

“This investment supports our commitment to access, inclusion and truth-telling,” Green said.<\/p>\n

“We’re proud to present a forward program that celebrates the diversity of our community and the unique stories of this place we are so proud to call home.”<\/p>\n

The support will enable the museum to continue offering award-winning exhibitions, innovative public programming and meaningful opportunities for participation across the region.<\/p>\n

The new Future Focus program will feature new exhibitions, expanded educational and outreach initiatives, and ongoing support for regional artists, researchers, and storytellers.<\/p>\n

Tweed Shire Council’s sustainable communities and environment director, Naomi Searle, said the funding was a vote of confidence for the museum’s direction.<\/p>\n

“This support ensures we can deliver a museum program that is bold, inclusive and responsive to our community,” Searle said.<\/p>\n

A total of 82 arts and cultural organisations across NSW shared the $17 million multi-year funding purse, including $7.15 million going to 36 regional organisations.<\/p>\n

Other Northern Rivers grant recipients in the multi-year funding round included Arts Northern Rivers, Byron Writers’ Festival, Lismore Regional Gallery, and Spaghetti Circus.<\/p>\n

Create NSW arts director Karen Rodgers said the multi-year investment would provide much-needed stability to the creative sector.<\/p>\n

“By bolstering organisations, and in turn, the many artists and arts workers they employ, this funding will generate lasting positive impact to the broader creative ecosystem and everyone who engages with arts and culture in NSW, increasing vibrancy and inspiring communities for years to come,” she said.<\/p>\n
