The Australia Council for the Arts invites you to discover how the national funding agency can support you or your organisation.

The Australia Council is running a series of funding forums across Australia in 2010. The events will give you information on our arts funding programs and how to increase the chances of having a successful application.

The registrations for Sydney forums are extended until 10am Monday 21 June.

The forums will be most useful for first time applicants.

The program will include:

• About the Australia Council (our vision, priorities, project examples) 
• Types of grants
• Examples of successful projects
• Tips for a successful application
• Q&A

The forums are free and aimed at all current and aspiring artists and arts organisations interested to learn about what the Australia Council offers.

The events are staged in partnership with the state arts agencies, who will provide information about their own funding opportunities.

There were forums hosted this year in Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. Below is the information for the currently available funding forums. We will also be coming to other locations later in the year. Details for the upcoming events will be announced shortly.
