Deadline: 9-Sep-21
Applications are now open for the Community Participation and Inclusion Program to Improve social inclusion and access to arts and culture in regional WA.
Objectives
- The arts play a critical role in the creation of inclusive and vibrant regional communities, in which everyone can participate, belong and thrive.
- The Community Participation and Inclusion Program provides funding for projects that support social inclusion and access to arts and culture in regional Western Australia.
- Funding delivered through the Community Participation and Inclusion Program is intended to:
- facilitate participation in arts and cultural activities for people from diverse backgrounds
- encourage the creative expression and development of diverse perspectives and ambitions
- provide opportunities for marginalised communities to strengthen and present their art and culture
- support the production of authentic, distinct creative works that tell Western Australian stories and celebrate diversity
- create arts and cultural employment and career pathways for regional Western Australian artists and creatives from diverse backgrounds
- contribute to social inclusion, wellbeing, cohesion and vibrancy in regional Western Australian communities.
Funding Information
- Eligible applicants can apply for up to $80,000. The amount requested should be based on:

- employment opportunities for regional people, including artists and arts workers.
- This program does not fund 100% of your activity costs. You must demonstrate that at least 20% of the project’s income will come from an additional source or your application will be ineligible.
- The project must be completed within 24 months of receiving the funds.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications are open to WA based organisations, groups and individuals.
