That sturdy stanchion of community arts, the Country Arts Support Program, is back again for 2026. Applications open on 26 September and close on 27 October 2025. Community groups and Council bodies can apply for up to $3000. And no, you don’t have to be a creative group – just have creative outcomes.
This year we are rolling our Micro Grant program into the CASP application. Individuals and businesses may apply for these grants of up to $1000.
AUH will hold at least one workshop in How To Apply For CASP (and Micro Grants), which we highly recommend. Guidelines and application forms will be available well in time for the opening date. But you are welcome to ring John O’Brien to discuss your project idea if you wish and jump in ahead of the curve.
John’s phone number is 0409 382 509.
