Arts and Cultural Funding Program - Individual Project Funding - 2022-23 - Round 2

Project funding supports innovation, vibrancy and creativity within the NSW arts and cultural sector.

It aims to deliver a dynamic and diverse range of arts and cultural experiences to communities across NSW, contribute to the development of a vibrant and accessible arts and cultural sector, and support the employment and development of professional NSW-based artists and arts/cultural workers.

Funding is available for a wide range of arts and cultural activity, including:

• the creative development and/or public presentation of work(s), for example, literary works, music, dance or theatre pieces
• commissioning professional artists – for example, a writer, composer, choreographer or visual artist – to develop a work for an event
• partnerships (including those with the non-arts sector) to develop arts and culture in a specific region, Priority Area or artform/discipline
• community collaborations involving professional artists, to develop skills, public performances, exhibitions or participatory events
• research and/or development of creative/cultural projects that develop new skills and/or engage with new ways of working including new approaches to museum practice, including curated shows and engagement strategies
• arts and cultural activities aimed at engaging young people, particularly students attending geographically and/or socio-economically disadvantaged schools
• extending an artist’s practice, audiences or markets, including skills exchanges for workers developing and deepening audience engagement with arts and culture.

Funding is not available under this program for filmmaking and screen production, mainstream animation and film festivals.
