Arts Mid North Coast is pleased to announce the creative industries research project, which aims to gather a body of research which demonstrates the economic vitality of the region's creative industries sector. The project also aims to address potential areas for improvement as well as support required needs.

Mid North Coast based consultancy Evolve Network Australia has coordinated the project. Evolve Network project coordinator Kerry Grace says:
"People involved in all aspects of creative industries were invited to take part in the project. They participated in a number of ways including surveys, forums and interviews."

Richard Holloway, project principal and Regional Arts Development Officer for Arts Mid North Coast says:
"The Creative Industries Research Project gave us the opportunity to gather baseline research which will help us to understand the true economic value of creative industries in the region. The data collected has provided us with ideas for future development of the industry as well as a contact base to establish opportunities for collaboration, mentoring programs and even create jobs."

The project is funded by the Departmentof State and Regional Development, NSW Government Department of Premier and Cabinet, Southern Cross University, University of Newcastle, TAFE North Coast Institute and Port Macquarie Hastings Council. The project is supported by Arts Mid North Coast.
