CASP Grants 2025

The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) is a small grants initiative funded by Create NSW and managed by Regional Arts Development Organisations. Arts North West is offering grants of up to $3,000 for arts community groups, and arts organisations in the New England North West to boost their creative projects.

CASP aims to help out with local community arts and cultural activities, give regional groups more chances to access a wide variety of arts programs, and let communities explore and express their cultural identities. It also brings social and economic benefits to the community through training, jobs, and promotion, raises awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity, and makes regional community arts organisations more sustainable and resilient.

The aim of the Country Arts Support Program is to support community arts and cultural development in regional NSW through small grants that:

• Assist locally determined community arts and cultural activities

• Increase opportunities for regionally based groups to access a diverse range of arts programs

• Enable communities to explore and express their cultural identities

• Bring social and economic benefits to the community through training, employment and promotional opportunities

• Lead to greater awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity

• Increase the sustainability and resilience of regionally based community arts organisations
