The Australia Council has re-opened the Arts and Disability Mentoring Initiative, extending the deadline for applications to midnight AEST, Tuesday April 14, 2020.

The 2020 fund includes three streams:

  • Survive – small grants for individuals, groups and organisations to offset or recoup financial losses due to cancelled activity
  • Adapt – grants for individuals, groups and organisations to adapt their practice and explore new operating models
  • Create – grants for individuals, groups and organisations to continue to create artistic work and develop creative responses in a time of disruption.

Organisations that currently receive multi-year funding from the Australia Council are not eligible to apply. These include National Performing Arts Partnership and Four Year Funded organisations, and those funded under the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy.

Applications for the Resilience Fund quick response opportunities open on Friday 3 April 2020. Information will be available on our website from the same date.
