Overview
Regional Arts Touring funding supports projects that provide access to arts and culture for audiences living in regional NSW.
Funding is available for tours of all artforms, including performing arts, music, visual arts, literature, history, museums and multi-arts. Applicants should demonstrate strong audience development and engagement strategies.
Regionally based artists and independent organisations can apply for touring to Sydney and Western Sydney venues.
Regional Arts Touring funding will accept applications for NSW tours in development. You will be able to submit your application using the current form, but include unconfirmed venues, and costs by 19 April 2021.
You will then have until 5:00 PM AEST on 10 May 2021 to submit any additional support material including:
- letters of support/venue confirmations
- budget changes.
You can submit this additional material via your SmartyGrants application via an online form uploaded on 20 April 2021. Create NSW support you deliver projects or programs that contribute to the vibrant arts and cultural landscape in NSW.
