HOMEFRONT Funding Recipients (Round Three - December 2021)
In the wake of the August 2021 COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown in the ACT, HOMEFRONT 3 was designed to provide support for Canberra artists and small arts groups to maintain and further develop their arts practice. The focus of the grants round was on promoting growth and sustainability in practice. Artists were able apply for up to $10,000 per application. A total of $350,000 was made available.
We received an unprecedented number of applications to the HOMEFRONT round. The quality was very high and there remain many unsuccessful applications. These applicants are encouraged to consider the Arts Activities Funding rounds for their projects and are welcome to contact us to discuss options.
