Grants in Arts & Culture
Visual Arts Major Commissioning Projects (Individuals and Groups)
Funding up to $100,000 is available.
The Visual Arts Major Commissioning Projects program supports Australian visual artists and craft practitioners to create significant new commissions for presentation in publicly accessible institutions in Australia or internationally. Delivered by Creative Australia under the Visual Arts, Craft and Design Partnership Framework, the program provides substantial investment to enable ambitious, high-quality new work. Applicants must have a confirmed invitation from a gallery or institution to present the new commission, including a commitment to pay a cash artist fee. The program supports risk-taking, experimentation and the development of new bodies of work, with funding intended to cover the creation and delivery of the commissioned project rather than costs already supported by presenting institutions.
