CREATION & PRESENTATION MICRO GRANTS – NOW OPEN //
Following the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our communities, Outback Arts have been delivering a diverse Restart program in 2021, funded by Create NSW. Now launched is a Creation and Presentation Micro Grant Fund.
This Micro Grant funding program is inviting artists from the Outback Arts region (Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar, Coonamble, Warren, Walgett and Bogan Shires) with a well-established visual arts practice to apply for support to produce and present their artwork ready for exhibition.
Applications of up to $2,500 may be submitted.
Artists working in all mediums are encouraged to apply, whether they be performance, film producers, photographers, musicians, sculptures or painters – this opportunity is all inclusive. The objective of this funding program is to support local mid-career artists to present their artwork publicly. Proposals for funding that develop and extend the applicants creative practice and that demonstrate innovation and build community connection will be especially considered.
Applications close Monday 17th May 2021.
If you have any questions about the Creation and Presentation Micro Grants program, your eligibility or how to apply, please contact Outback Arts.
All applicants are encouraged to contact Outback Arts to discuss their project idea before submitting their application.
