Arts and culture made evident.

A New Approach (ANA), Australia’s leading arts and culture think tank, has shown through independent research and analysis, that Australians from every walk of life participate in and benefit from arts, culture and creativity.

Our work informs discussion, inspires public policy and brings together decision makers and industry leaders around evidence-led ideas and pathways for pragmatic action.  

Our board, staff, expert advisors and philanthropic partners are rigorous and collegial as they make evident the value and opportunities of Australian arts, culture and creativity.

The report provides an updated overview of trends in arts and culture expenditure by governments in Australia between the years of 2007–08 and 2020–21. The research draws on a new release of Australia’s most comprehensive dataset on this topic, the cultural funding by governments series (CFG).

Our submission explores how Australia can become a cultural powerhouse whose compelling creativity is locally loved, nationally valued and globally influential.
