Grants for emerging artists in Western Sydney
Emerging artists and arts organisations across the Western Sydney region are encouraged to apply for grants between $15,000 and $50,000.
The NSW Government has allocated $1 million to support three programs for emerging artists and arts organisations across Western Sydney.
- Making Spaces Initiative
The fund encourages property owners to partner with arts, screen and cultural organisations to use spaces for the arts, and create vibrant and liveable communities. Funding between $15,000 and $50,000 per application, per site is available. - Strategic Funding Opportunities
For new projects outside of existing arts programs, funding allows organisations to embed arts in the everyday and increase participation. Up to $50,000 is available per application. - Emerging Organisations Program
The program supports emerging Western Sydney arts, screen and culture groups in developing sustainable business models and setting them up for long-term success. Up to $50,000 is available per application.
Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said the funding will help drive the arts in Sydney’s west.
