Museums & Galleries NSW (M&G NSW) is the leading agency to develop, support and promote regional, community and public museums and galleries across NSW. We present strategic programs, advocacy and services to a valued, viable and skilled sector. A non-profit company established in 1999, the strong relationships we have established with metropolitan and regional communities enables us to contribute significantly to the development of the sector throughout the state.

 

Through the provision of advocacy, assistance and information services, M&G NSW plays a pivotal role in nurturing sustainable museums and galleries within their communities. We aim to ensure the ongoing provision of enjoyable, enriching cultural experiences for the people of NSW.

 

Our sector encompasses galleries and museums throughout NSW, the professionals and volunteers who work in these organisations, and the many people who use their services. There are over 540 museums, 38 regional galleries, 27 artist-run spaces and 15 Keeping Places in NSW. M&G NSW has an increasing association with the 175 historical societies and 266 libraries throughout the state.

 

M&G NSW receives core funding from the NSW Government through Arts NSW, with additional funding from project grants. M&G NSW is also assisted by the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory board.
