Arts and Culture Grant

The City of Launceston are offering an Arts and Culture Grant to enhance the cultural life of Launceston.

The Arts and Culture Grant is open to creatives and cultural practitioners at all stages of their career, working across a range of established and emerging art forms and disciplines, as well as eligible organisations and community groups who wish to explore a creative or cultural project of interest that demonstrates a connection to the Launceston local government area.

A variety of creative and cultural projects are supported, including visual art, theatre, performance, writing, literature, music and events.

What can you apply for?

The Grant supports the delivery of activities and projects that demonstrate a clear alignment with Launceston’s strategic objectives to the community’s benefit. Grant requests should focus on providing opportunities for creative and cultural practitioners, paid appropriately, to deliver creative and cultural projects that engage and inspire the community. All proposed activities must consider and address health, safety, and legislative requirements such as risk assessments and permits.
