Applications are now open for the Quick Response Grant for small arts activities, professional development for artists and arts workers, and community capacity building activities.
Grant activities will support the objectives of the Regional Arts Fund program and will contribute to making the arts accessible to communities across Australia regardless of location, whether as participant or consumer.
Funding Information
- Individuals can apply for up to $3000 and organisations or community groups can apply for up to $5000. There is no minimum grant amount. Assessors will make decisions around funding allocated to successful applicants, taking into consideration the quantum of funds available in the individual state/territory. In exceptional circumstances, applicants located in very remote areas may be permitted to apply for larger grants. Funding applications are assessed against other applications on a competitive basis. To remain competitive, all applications for funding must include realistic budgets and represent value with money.
