A limited amount of funding annually is available for a Quick Response Grant when there is a compelling justification to do so.
There is a total grant pool of $220,000 available to cover the four arts grants offered by the City (Arts Project, Festival-Arts, Professional Development and Quick Response).
Grant amount
Grants of up to $5,000 are available to support individual Arts Projects that aim to foster creativity, engage the wider community and embed the role of the arts in the life and experience of the people of the Geelong region.
Who should apply?
Eligible applicants can apply for a quick response grant to support the exploration, development and presentation of arts projects for activities:
- that fall outside the timeline for the main Arts Projects or Festival-Arts grants round (refer to geelongaustralia.com.au/grants)
- that can only be funded at short notice, e.g., a new, limited-time opportunity or an activation devised in response to an unexpected community issue or municipal disaster; and
conducted solely within the City of Greater Geelong municipality
- that align with the City of Greater Geelong Arts & Cultural Strategy (visit our Arts and Culture page)
