The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) is an annual small grants program funded by Create NSW and managed locally by Eastern Riverina Arts. It is guided by Create NSW’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program’s three major objectives:

• Grow creative leadership and programming excellence in NSW

• Strengthen NSW arts and cultural activity that drives community and social benefits

• Showcase NSW as a leader for strategic arts and cultural governance and strong financial management.

Create NSW’s objective for this program is to support community arts and cultural development in regional NSW through small grants that:

• Assist locally determined community arts and cultural activities

• Increase opportunities for regionally based groups to access a diverse range of arts programs

• Enable communities to explore and express their cultural identities

There are two streams available through the Eastern Riverina Arts Country Arts Support Program to support proposals for 2025:

• For Individuals, max $750 – for professional development or the realisation/presentation of an ambitious artistic outcome, or

• For Projects, max $3000 – for original creative projects and collaborations that meet the eligibility criteria.
