The Australia Council supports community arts and cultural development through many of its sections, but primarily through the Community Partnerships section. In 2010 –11, we invested $9.9 million in community arts and cultural development projects. This investment takes the form of project support to individual artists and community organisations. Multi-year financial support for Key Producer companies is also available, as is support for strategic initiatives that build capacity across the sector.
Artists can also apply for funding through our ArtStart and Creative Australia Artists Grants including Creative Australia Fellowships.
Market Development and Community Partnerships have recently launched Cultural Places – a new three year initiative in partnership with Arts South Australia, Arts Queensland and local governments which aims to strengthen regional Australian communities through arts and cultural projects. Please contact either Community Partnerships or Market Development to find out more.
Further information about the Community Partnerships priorities can be found in its sector plan, published in the Artforms section of our website.

The Community Partnerships Committee has identified a number of priority areas: regional Australia, disability, young people, cultural diversity, emerging communities, Indigenous people, remote Indigenous communities and specific critical social and cultural issues requiring focused attention.Applicants must address one of these priorities in their proposals to Community Partnerships.
