Grant Description
Festivals Australia supports community participation in and access to arts and cultural activities at festivals and significant one-off community celebrations in regional and remote Australia. Round 22 offers approximately $740,000, as part of an annual allocation of around $1.48 million across two rounds, to fund single discrete arts projects that engage audiences and communities. There is no fixed maximum grant amount, although the average request is around $40,000. The program prioritises diverse, place-based arts experiences that strengthen cultural expression, partnerships and audience development outside major cities.
