Prue Tan is the ‘go to’ officer for the Regional Arts funding program that has just been launched. There are three major funding initiatives, all a bit different. Her Q&A outlines who and how. It’s a comprehensive read and you need to work through all the information.
Here’s the mercenary’s guide:
- Quick response grants, individual artists can apply, up to $1500 to take advantage of unexpected opportunities.
- Country Art Support Program (CASP), organisations (like us) can apply, up to $5k, has to be acquitted in 2018.

- Regional Arts Fund (RAF), organisations (like us) can apply, up to $20k, has to be acquitted in 2018. Have a look at the objectives – these fit closely with what Creative Caldera do.
