InspireArts Community Creativity and Cultural Fund

The fund offers individual applicants up to $1000 or $2000 for community groups/organisations.

Shire President James Martin said he encouraged individuals, and community groups and organisations, to apply for funding to assist with their cultural endeavours.

“The Shire is seeking to fund initiatives that will encourage new partnerships, and improve access to arts and culture activity within the Shire,” he said.

“We want to assist individuals and groups to achieve long term artistic and cultural benefits and engage local residents.”
