Creators Fund Grant

The Creators Fund paves the way for independent creatives to take their practice and their careers to the next level by providing them with one of the most important and scarce resources – time.

 

Open to individual creative practitioners and collectives across all disciplines, and at all career stages, the program supports artists and creatives to undertake a sustained period of intensive development, research and/or experimentation.

 

Creators Fund Funding available

Applications will be accepted for requests between $20,000 and $50,000 for a funded period between 3 months and 6 months of activity.

The Creators Fund provides support for creative practitioners to undertake:

• Intensive creative research of new ideas and practice-based experimentation.
• Creative development activity pertaining to their creative practice, the development of significant new works and career advancement.

Applications can be for solo activity or activity undertaken by small creative collectives.

 

 

Who can apply

The Creators Fund accepts applications from individuals and collectives. Applications are encouraged from a wide range of creative disciplines from across the sector, including but not limited to screen, fashion, design, game design, visual arts, literature, dance, circus, cabaret, music, theatre, multidisciplinary and experimental work.

 

The primary focus of the proposal must include Victorian-based individual professional creative practitioners (emerging to established) and/or Victorian-based professional collectives AND a creative idea or activity.
