Camden Council recognises the value of Camden’s creative community and its role in shaping a unique cultural identity and engaging community with participation in the arts. Through a vibrant cultural community, we support improved social connection, wellbeing and liveability, access to diverse high-quality entertainment and cultural experiences in creative and community spaces and the public domain in Camden LGA and create local employment for the creative industries.
The program also assists the community to reconnect and rebuild through arts and creativity due to the impact of the Covid pandemic.
The Cultural Activation Seed Grants (the Grant) will make funding available to successful eligible applicants including individual artists, art and cultural groups or arts organisations (for profit or not for profit) proposing projects or programs to be delivered within Camden LGA that will increase access and community participation in arts, culture, and creativity within Camden.
Successful programs must be completed between 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022.
Applications are open from 3 September to 1 October 2021 and can be made through the SmartyGrants portal. It is recommended applicants register for grant information sessions that will be held via zoom.
