2026 Creative Nations Art and Culture Grants

The Creative Nations Program supports First Nations artists, cultural workers, organisations and communities through their artistic expressions that continue to sustain and strengthen First Nations arts and culture in NSW.

In response to Creative Communities, the NSW arts, culture and creative industries policy, the purpose of this funding is to strengthen communities though equitable access to vibrant arts and cultural experiences.

This funding could:

  • enable the creation and presentation of new work and the ability to access resources and expertise for individual artists projects or artistic/professional development
  • create more employment and professional development opportunities for First Nations artists and cultural workers
  • invest in First Nations led organisations and help cultural workers become leaders
  • enable the sharing of First Nations stories and truth telling
  • support personal and community wellbeing and economic development

Individuals and groups can apply for projects from $10,000 up to $75,000. Organisations can apply for projects from $20,000 up to $100,000.

Applications Close 2pm May 25
