APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL FUNDING

NSW individual artists, arts and cultural workers, practitioners and organisations are encouraged to apply for Round 1 of Create NSW’s 2020/2021 Arts and Cultural Funding Program, which opened this week.

Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said the NSW Government is committed to further assisting the heavily impacted arts and cultural sector to boost their COVID-19 recovery and encourages creatives to apply.

“Last year we delivered a simplified process that removed barriers to applying for arts and cultural funding, and this year in response to additional feedback from the sector we have further revised the guidelines,” Mr Harwin said.

“It’s extremely important to highlight the incredible contribution arts and culture makes to the State, and we are working to deliver a funding program that attracts a wide breadth of individual artists, arts and cultural workers and organisations to apply for funding.”

The 2020/2021 Arts and Cultural Funding Program applications will be assessed by 10 restructured Artform Advisory Boards. Members will make funding recommendations to the Minister for the Arts and provide strategic advice on issues facing their artform.

Due to the overwhelming response from applicants last year and in appreciation of the important role that festivals play in our creative environment, the Festivals and Multi-arts Board will be divided into standalone boards.

Round 1 of Create NSW’s 2020/2021 Arts and Cultural Funding Program is now open for Annual Organisation, Project and Creative Koori Project categories.

Applications close Wednesday, 23 September 2020. Visit the Create NSW website for more information, guidelines and to apply.
