COVID-19 recovery
Since March 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant unforeseen impacts across the global community. In recognition of the valuable role the arts play in Fremantle, grants funds in this round will support recipients who meet our grants objectives, plus initiate, contribute and participate within this context.
The Arts Grants Program will be focused on providing funding to projects and initiatives that key into the concepts of collaborate and connect. Expanding on these concepts, ‘collaboration’ defined as working locally with other artists, arts workers and organisations, residents, visitors and/or businesses.
The act of collaborate concurrently facilitates ‘connection’ with people and place. Delivery within publicly accessible spaces is encouraged though not essential.
5 x $5,000 grants will be allocated in the March 2021 round.
