SMALL GRANTS PROGRAMS
Occasional small grants offered or coordinated by Arts OutWest.

Arts OutWest is a service organisation rather than a funding body  – but we do administer some annual small grants programs.

In 2023:

  • 2023: a round of Micro Grants to support creatives impacted by floods and natural disasters.  Open through to 5 June 2023. See below.
  • 2023: The NSW Government’s annual Country Arts Support Program (CASP). The 2023 round has closed and the recipients have been announced.  Project stories can be seen on this page.

Make sure you subscribe to our enews for announcements of future small grants.

CASP Stories: Carillon Spring Recital

Bathurst’s Carillion is more than a war memorial – it’s a rare but fully functioning instrument. Bathurst’s carillonists will present a series of three special concerts in October, thanks to a Country Arts Support Program grant.

CASP Project update: Yarn the Mountain

The CASP funded project Yarn the Mountain, in Kandos, is off to a great start…. Hanging out near the warm fire in WAYOUT Artspace, playing with wool, having a chat, making things and new friends – sounds truly wonderful.
