Bell Shakespeare Company

Belvoir Street Theatre

 Musica Viva Australia   (MVA)

It is estimated these ten companies alone, represent circa 40% of the private sector arts funding received through sponsorship and giving in New South Wales.

• Nationally and within New South Wales art and culture encompasses many different forms of expression, education and entertainment from dance, to theatre to festivals etc. As a testament to the strength of arts and culture in New South Wales, 10 of the 28 major performing arts group are located within the state. New South Wales art forms are supported by a range of galleries, museums and infrastructure located in metropolitan centres and regional centres, such as the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Art Gallery of NSW which hosts some of Australia’s major art prizes including the Archibald. The Australia Bureau of Statistics estimates that key cultural and arts sectors contribute over AUD$4.5 billion annually (or 4%) to the New South Wales economy. Furthermore, the Australia Bureau of Statistics  (‘ABS’)  has published that approximately 4.8 million people (or 83% of the population aged 15 years and over) in New South Wales “attended a selected cultural venue or event at least once during the twelve months prior to interview in 2009–10.”
