Creative Recovery Small Grants Program
The Creative Recovery Small Grants Program is now closed.
Regional Arts Victoria is proud to be working in partnership with Regional Development Victoria, Bushfire Recovery Victoria and Creative Victoria on the Creative Recovery Small Grants Program.
The Creative Recovery Small Grants Program supports community connection, engagement and resilience for communities impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires in regional Victoria. The program focuses on the creative activity that assists these communities with short and long term recovery.
The Creative Recovery Small Grants Program supports individual artists and organisations based in six local government authority areas of Alpine, East Gippsland, Indigo, Mansfield, Towong and Wangaratta.
Up to $5,000 was available for individuals and organisations. In limited circumstances, applicants were invited to apply for funding above this threshold after consulting with Regional Arts Victoria.
