About this program

Welcome to the City of Sydney’s online grant application for the creative grants program for artist support, powered by SmartyGrants.

This artist support category supports professional practicing artists to continue to live and practice in the City of Sydney and Greater Sydney areas. It aims to rebuild our creative workforce by supporting artists from priority communities across a range of artforms and at different stages of their career.

This funding will support any aspect of creative practice, cost of living and costs of producing new work.

If you have any questions, you can contact the grants team at grants@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au.
