\nFunding will be available to NSW not-for-profit arts and cultural organisations assessed as being in financial distress across the State on a case by case basis.
\nTreasurer Dominic Perrottet said the arts sector supports 118,000 jobs across NSW and contributes $16.4 billion directly and indirectly to the NSW Gross State Product.
\n\u201cThis funding is critical to keep more businesses in business and people in jobs as the as the NSW economy begins its recovery,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
