Grants and Auspice
Accelerate
With the support from Creative Victoria, we are creating a new grants program for Deaf and Disabled Artists, Creatives and Arts Workers in Victoria.
This program is a pilot study in creating accessible funding programs for Deaf and Disabled artists We want to drive change for future funding programs.
There are two funding streams in Accelerate:
- Nurture are grants of $5,000 (plus $2,500 access costs) for artists
- Create are grants of $15,000 (plus $5,000 access costs) for artists
THRIVE Creative Grants
Arts Access Victoria has partnered with Port Phillip Council to deliver THRIVE Creative Grants. These grants aim to assist and encourage Victorian Deaf and Disabled artists to:
- develop professional skills and realise creative projects in the City of Port Phillip.
- increase the diversity of individuals accessing Council’s arts programs and processes.
The creative projects are presented during Open Doors Emerald Hill, a free one-day winter arts festival in July.
