Local artists and organisations that shine a light on innovation, vibrancy and creativity in the Dubbo electorate arts and cultural sector can benefit from funding available from the NSW Government.
Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said applications are open for the NSW Government’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program (ACFP) for projects that will increase access and availability of arts and cultural experiences across NSW.
“I’m calling for our local arts and cultural organisations, professional artists at all stages of their careers and across all artforms – as well as arts and cultural workers – to apply for funding through the ACFP,” Mr Saunders said.
“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.
“The ACFP supports NSW artists and organisations to reach new audiences, ensures our state’s diversity is fully reflected in the culture it produces – including ensuring our First Nations histories and stories are shared and celebrated – and inspires creative collaboration on the national and international stage.”
The $67.7 million Arts and Cultural Funding Program for 2022/23 is part of the NSW Government’s record $271 million investment in the program from 2021-2024.
Applications for Round one of the Arts and Cultural Funding Program are open for Annual Organisation, Projects, and the Creative Koori Projects categories and close on 29 August 2022.
