Federal Member for Durack, The Hon. Melissa Price, encourages community organisations across the Durack electorate to apply for the Festivals Australia Grants Opportunity.
“Grants ranging from $5,000 to $150,000 are available each year through the Festivals Australia program and I encourage our outstanding local artists and arts organisations to apply,” Ms Price said.
“Art is essential to any culture, creating a sense of identity and pride. These projects play an important role in helping to sustain and strengthen our communities.” Melissa Price said.
Festivals Australia provides funding to support individual art projects at festivals or significant one-off community events, such as a town celebration or opening of a new community resource. Festivals Australia will:
• Provide access to a diverse range of high quality, innovative arts projects that grow audiences at festivals across regional Australia
• Support partnerships and collaboration across the arts sector
• Encourage community participation in arts projects at regional and remote festivals.
This grant opportunity is run by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts.
Applications for the current funding round close 10pm AWST Wednesday 5 October 2022.
