The Cardinia Arts Grants 2022 program is now open for applications.

The grants provide financial assistance of up to $5000 for initiatives promoting the arts within Cardinia Shire.

“Cardinia Shire Council offers this grant opportunity to encourage local artists to connect their artistic practice with local communities in new ways,” Council said.

“The Cardinia Arts Grants aim to support ideas that contribute to the development and promotion of the local arts sector, and foster partnerships and collaborations between local artists, residents, and local community groups.”

Applicants to the program are judged on feasibility, relevance to the community, the intended outcome and their artistic merit or proven ability when proposing the project.

Applications close on Sunday 2 June 11.59pm. For more information, visit www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/artsgrants or email arts@cardinia.vic.gov.au
