Festivals Australia - Round 13

This program offers funding to support individual art projects that allow community members living in regional or remote Australia to participate in or appreciate an arts-driven experience at:

• a festival – which is defined by Festivals Australia as a regularly presented program of events (for example annually or biennially) that is open to the public and provides an opportunity to gather and celebrate
• a significant one-off community celebration – which is defined by Festivals Australia as a schedule of events that is open to the public and is focused on an anniversary or launch of great significance to the community. For example, a town or area’s centenary celebrations, a significant anniversary of a major local event or the opening of a major new community resource could be the basis for an eligible significant one-off community celebration.

Projects must be a single discrete activity within the festival program, not a range of unrelated activities across the overall festival.

This round is for projects commencing from the 1st of February 2022.

Only projects taking place at festivals or significant one-off community celebrations in regional and remote Australia will
be supported. Projects delivered at festivals in metropolitan locations are not eligible for funding.

The program is delivered through two open competitive funding rounds opening in February and September each year.
