How much can I apply for?

Funding applications for up to $3,000 for individuals and up to $5,000 for organisations are available through this grant program. There is no minimum amount.

What can I use the money for?

Regional Arts Fund grant funds may be used toward the cost of producing the project including but not limited to:

• artist fees (artists should be appropriately paid)
• travel costs (including international)
• materials
• venue hire
• equipment hire
• insurance
