Calling all artists! Grants of up to $25,000 are available to bring bold, one-off arts projects to life in Melbourne in 2027.
Public outcomes might include (but aren’t limited to) performances, exhibitions, installations or public realm activations – we welcome creative ideas across all forms.
Individual artists and small to medium arts organisations across all disciplines including performance art, music, dance, theatre, and visual art are encouraged to apply.
Grants are available for projects delivered between 1 January and 31 December 2027 and must take place within the City of Melbourne municipality.
