Deadline: 3-Jul-23
The Government of South Australia is pleased to announce the Arts and Culture Grants Program – Projects – Community (Australia) to support collaboration between professional artists and communities to achieve inclusive artistic, cultural and social outcomes.
Project activity must be developed in consultation with the target community and designed to meet identified community needs, aspirations or intentions. Project proposals must incorporate and reference community and cultural development methodologies; engagement and creative process are the primary focus.
