Community groups and Council Entities are welcome to apply for these long-standing grants.
Still a mainstay of regional arts and communities, CASP provides funds to arts and cultural groups, not-for profit-organisations and local councils for short term, locally initiated projects. Schools can’t apply but school P&C’s can, as can museums. A good portion of the grant must be used to employ professional artists or cultural workers, and projects can be in any art form.
Grants: up to $3,000.
Applications open: Monday 23 September 2024
Information session: 5pm Monday 14 October 2024: link here.
Applications close: Monday 28 October 2024 at 5pm.
For projects starting after 15 January 2025 and finishing by 1 December 2025.
