We applied for a Project and Development Grant to help fund the recording of our album. The funding has allowed us to pursue a level of quality we otherwise couldn’t and allowed us take full advantage of opportunities presented to us.

Crisis Relief Grants and support are available to musicians, managers, crew and music workers across all genres experiencing financial hardship as the result of illness, injury, mental health, older age or another current crisis that is impacting their ability to work in music.

Grants are assessed for a current issue impacting ability to work in music and, if approved, will be provided through direct payment of bills or other personal expenses related to the crisis, rather than cash grants. Evidence of a current crisis will be required.

Our social work team is here to help with general, practical advice and can put you in touch with other relevant services including housing, finance and care. Contact them here or check out information on other services and support here.

We know it can be hard asking for help. We treat every request for help confidentially and make no judgment about people’s circumstances.

This grant supports increased access to arts and cultural activities for South Australians who are deaf or identify as people with disability. Spanning all art forms, funded activity should contribute to reducing barriers for audiences and participants.

Applicants must take an innovative approach to inclusive programming and universal design, with evidence of appropriate consultation.

Repeat applications from organisations for access initiatives are not encouraged. Applications should demonstrate an evolving approach to access, aligned with strategic or business planning in a way that positions access as a core element of programmed activity.

This is a quick response grant category and applications must be discussed with Arts South Australia staff before submission.

Nexus Arts is delighted to announce the continuation of their grant writing support service: WRITE UP.
