Today is the "national giving day to arts", according to Creative Australia
Regional Arts NSW has a role uniting the arts boards that help communities make sense of the complex and ever-changing environment for creative industries, yet their funding was withdrawn by the state government who have since also withdrawn funding for one of those regional arts boards.
So it's clear the network that existed for regional artists is broken and there doesn't seem to be any discussion in the small amount of media covering the arts to know what is likely to replace it.
