Within our Strategic Plan Arts OutWest supports or partners on projects across the region as well as funding occasional projects through small grants.

Our support may be as the auspicing organisation on a funding application: usually for an unincorporated group, individual artists, local government entity, or others unable to directly apply for funding.

Sometimes we are invited to manage funds and other admin elements of a project or program – letting the creatives focus on what they do best.

We also formally partner on projects where our expertise is used. We might collaborate with artists or other organisations to apply for funding or run a project together.

We also support small projects in the region through microgrants.

All of these projects have arisen out of ongoing conversations and relationships built with the local partners. To start a conversation about how we might support your project idea contact our executive director Kylie Shead (kyshead@csu.edu.au or 02 6338 4657). See our auspicing policy for more details.
