ACT Natimuk’s Creative Lab First Nations Artist/s’ Project is an arts development opportunity available to First Nations artist/s or arts collectives working in any art-form – visual, performing, sound, installation, screen etc.

The Creative Lab First Nations Artist/s’ Project is intended to provide creative exploration time on an idea, which will ideally seed a project with a showing at NatiFrinj 2027.

There is one Creative Lab First Nations Artist/s’ Project opportunity in 2026-27. The successful applicant/s will receive:

• a $5000 grant
• support to build/make connections in Natimuk
• access to a First Nations arts mentor
• support to access venues/spaces
• support to access limited technical resources

This program is supported by Creative Victoria, and VicHealth’s ‘Welcoming Spaces’ Project through Regional Arts Victoria.
