Community Arts and Cultural Development Grants
The City of Coffs Harbour offers Arts and Cultural Development Grants to support new and engaging arts and cultural projects across the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA).
Funding of between $1,000 and $7,000 is available annually to artists and community groups for projects and events that deliver clear arts, cultural, and community benefits. Funded projects should demonstrate outcomes that are identifiable and, where possible, measurable. The program supports a rich and inclusive cultural life by encouraging participation from people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, abilities and social circumstances. It recognises the important role arts and culture play in strengthening community wellbeing and contributing to the social and economic fabric of the region.
Priority Areas for Funding
Projects will be prioritised if they align with one or more of the following goals:
• Engage the community and visitors in the cultural life of the region
• Create and maintain vibrant cultural and public spaces
• Understand and celebrate Aboriginal and diverse cultural heritage
• Value and support creative industries
• Encourage connections, collaboration, and partnerships
