About the program

These grants deliver investment to individuals and groups as part of the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy. Each year a designated number of grants are available to each state or territory reflecting the population spread of the country of which the Strategy is based.

Grants of $100,000 are available. The new commission proposed must be presented to audiences by 30 June 2026.

In the 4 June 2024 closing date, grants will be awarded to applicants residing in all Australian states and territories.
