Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Adam Crouch is encouraging Central Coast artists and organisations wanting to shine a light on the innovation, vibrancy and creativity within the region’s arts and cultural sector residents to apply for grants under the State Government’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program (ACFP).
“This funding is a great opportunity for our local artists and arts and cultural organisations to get creative and submit ideas that can deliver on a range of arts and creative activities and offerings, and I encourage everyone to take up the opportunity to enrich our community,” Crouch said.
The $67.7M Arts and Cultural Funding Program for 2022/23 is part of the Government’s record $271M investment in the program from 2021-2024.
Artists and organisations can apply for grants under the annual organisations, projects and creative Koori projects categories.
Minister for the Arts, Ben Franklin, said the aim of the grants was to increase access and availability of arts and cultural experiences across NSW.
“The Arts and Cultural Funding Program supports the state’s vibrant arts and cultural sector, local economies and jobs and is part of the Government’s commitment to supporting NSW’s world-renowned creative network and ensuring the sector is stronger than ever,” Franklin said.
“Everyone deserves access to enriching creative experiences and the ACFP is one of the largest investments in arts and culture funding of its kind by any state government in Australia.
“I encourage all artists, arts and cultural organisations and local councils to apply for funding to develop exciting arts and cultural experiences for audiences and communities right across the state.”
