Niina Marni,

Welcome to the City of Adelaide Arts & Cultural Grants online application portal, powered by SmartyGrants.

The Cultural Engagements and Experiences Grant provides short turnaround funding for cultural engagements and arts and culture experiences that celebrate and showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in the city. Examples include cultural events, festivals, exhibitions and programming to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and creatives to practice culture and achieve their artistic aspirations. This could be funding for the event itself and/or for the inclusion of cultural protocols such as Welcome to Country or Smoking Ceremonies.

Applications may be received from organisations engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as part of cultural projects and events however Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples or organisations must be the primary beneficiaries of funding. Matched funding is not required.

Before you start, please read the Arts & Cultural Grants and Cultural Strategic Partnerships 2022-2023 Guidelines.
