2012-2013 Grant Round
It is a requirement for all potential applicants to discuss their proposal with the Arts & Culture Department prior to applying. Applications may only be made by receiving a link to an application via Email.
Applications are currently closed for the following Grant streams:
Additional Opportunities
Outside of the main grant round, two grant opportunities will remain open between 1 October 2012 and 30 May 2013, subject to availability of funds:
- Community Arts (Quick Response) Grants of up to $1,500 to support ‘urgent’ arts projects whose timelines prevent the applicant from applying within the major Community Arts Grants program application period in July each year. A legitimate reason must be provided as to why application could not occur during the July intake, and why funding is necessary at short notice (Example: creation of an arts program to support an environmental disaster relief effort).
- Community Arts (Professional Development) Grants of up to $1,000 to support selected professional and skill development activities for individuals. Volunteer arts community workers and professional artists who reside permanently within the Greater Geelong municipality may apply. (Example, reimbursement of travel costs or registration fees for cultural conferences, programs, mentorships or other arts education activities for individuals.) Provision of arts industry references is mandatory
