If you have a great idea for a creative project that will benefit the MidCoast community, apply online for funding to bring your vision to life.
The MidCoast Arts Support Program aims to enhance opportunities for the creative industry sector to contribute to a thriving community.
"MidCoast Council is excited to support initiatives that promote our region's rich cultural sector." said Alex Mills, Council's Manager of Libraries, Community and Cultural Services.
"If you have a vision for a public art project, an idea for a creative industry development workshop or a way our community can learn and participate in caring for Country, we want to help you make it happen."
Now in its second year the total grant pool available through the MidCoast Arts Support Program is $15,000.
Up to $5,000 is on offer for people and groups involved in the creative industries sector such as artists, singers, dancers, actors, designers, architects, and animators across the MidCoast region.
This project has been established with the support of the Arts and Creative Industries Reference Group who provide strategic advice to Council on the planning, development, and delivery of services to support the arts and creative industries in the MidCoast region.
Applications are open from 10 February and close on 14 April. Information sessions will be held in Taree and Forster on Saturday 22 February to provide guidance and helpful advice on preparing a funding application.
