“Creative Kids has allowed us to offer our programs to more young people in the area who have benefitted from being part of an inclusive creative community.” Daniel Potter, CEO, Shopfront.

Creative Kids is designed to make it easier for school-aged children and young people to get involved in creative and cultural activities.

Parents, guardians and carers can claim a $100 voucher per year to put towards the cost of creative and cultural programs with registered Creative Kids Providers. Initially a four-year program, the NSW Government has recently announced an additional $22.9 million to extend the Creative Kids voucher program until June 2023.

There are a range of Providers participating in the program, including artists, cultural practitioners, arts, screen, cultural and creative organisations across NSW. This program creates opportunities for Providers to reach new audiences and grow business.
