APPLY FOR A GRANT

2023/24 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

GUIDELINES & ELIGIBILITY

We back courageous and talented West Australian artists and arts organisations to realise ambitious and unique projects that benefit our local community.

Our high impact grants of $100,000 are designed to provide transformational opportunities for the many talented artists and arts organisations in WA.  

ARTS IMPACT WA

A model for collective giving

Local supporters generously donate funds to raise $100,000 grants for Western Australian arts projects.

Applications open and eligible West Australian artists and arts organisations submit a short application that outlines their project concept, impact and cost.

All applications are reviewed by a Grant Assessment Panel made up of donors and industry experts.

Shortlisted applicants are invited to submit a detailed application.

Up to six finalists will be chosen to present their projects at an exciting awards evening where our donor community will vote for their favourite project.

Votes are tallied on the night and then the highest scoring project (or projects) are awarded a $100,000 grant to make it a reality.

Behind the scenes

Together we are creating new pathways to empower the WA arts sector and our community.

Our values

We’re calling for high impact projects that are ambitious and unique with strong public visibility and access.  We encourage courageous ideas with unique content and ambitious plans.

The more local people can be involved or communities can benefit from your project the stronger your application will be.

Working artists and arts organisations across all art disciplines in WA are invited to apply. 

Project Strengths

We're looking for clarity and your experience. Is it compelling or unique? Is it feasible? Are you able to scale or leverage your project?
