Deadline: 20-Mar-23
The Regional Arts Victoria is seeking applications for its Regional Arts Fund: Project Grants for arts projects, professional development for artists and arts workers, and community capacity building projects.
Objectives
-
The objectives of the Regional Arts Fund are to support and promote participation in, and access to, Australia's arts and culture in regional and remote Australia, and through doing so:
- encourage and support sustainable economic, social and cultural outcomes in regional communities;
- develop partnerships and networks which leverage financial and/or in−kind support for regional arts projects and encourage ongoing collaboration;
- develop audiences and broaden community engagement with the arts;
- increase employment and professional development opportunities for, and raise the profile of, regional and remote artists; and
- support quality and viability of artistic and cultural activity.
Funding Information
- Project Grants: You can apply for Project Grants of up to $30,000.
- 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.
- You are strongly encouraged to speak with a Regional Program Administrator Program Officer, especially if you are applying for grants greater than $20,000 as a large funding request may be unrealistic where the available funds are limited.
Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible you must:
- be an individual or Australian incorporated organisation or local government organisation

- if required by the Australian Tax Office, be registered for the purposes of GST
- not have any outstanding reports, acquittals or serious breaches relating to any Australian Government funding or funding from a state or territory Regional Program Administrator. A serious breach is one that has resulted in, or warrants, the termination of a grant agreement.

You are not eligible to apply if you are:
- an unincorporated organisation not auspiced by an organisation that meets the eligibility criteria
- a for profit company
