CASP provides grants to arts and cultural groups, not-for-profit organisations and local councils in regional NSW for short term, locally-initiated projects. 

Schools can’t apply but Parents and Citizens’ Associations can.

“The grants of up to $3000 must primarily be used to employ professional artists or cultural workers,” Arts Upper Hunter regional arts development officer Mark Reedman said.

“Projects can be in any art form. 

“The funding is for projects occurring in 2019.”

Arts Upper Hunter can assist with developing project ideas, sourcing artists, pay rates, budgets and explaining the online application form. 

“Not all applicants will need help but they must discuss their application with Arts Upper Hunter before lodgement,” Mr Reedman said.

Applications close at 5pm on Friday, August 3.

For further information, phone Arts Upper Hunter on 6541 4776.
