Only groups who are based in regional NSW can apply to this fund. The types of groups include non-profit arts and community organisations, local government bodies and P&C associations. Applications must be for an arts or cultural project that benefits your community.


It is a criteria of application that all applicants MUST discuss their project with their Regional Art Board (in this region, Arts OutWest) prior to submitting an application. Details at: www.regionalartsnsw.com. au/grants/casp.html
