Australia Council has developed a new grants model which will support a diverse range of artists, artistic practice, organisations and arts activity. The new model will make it easier and simpler to apply for grants.
Area of practice based peer assessment of artistic merit and excellence will remain central to grant decision making.
The new grants model reflects the Council’s commitment to supporting a dynamic arts ecology by investing in excellence across all art forms and throughout artists’ careers.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts
The arts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people reflect the unique cultural heritage of the world’s oldest living culture.
The new grants program maintains Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander decision making on applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, groups and organisations.
Arts and Disability Funding
Dedicated funding is available to provide support for artists or groups who identify with disability.
Applications for funding can be made through the March round of our Development Grant for Individuals and Groups, and Arts Projects for Individuals and Groups. Click here for more information.
