Applications

If you are considering applying in 2010, it would be worthwhile having a look at the 2009 guidelines and application forms - these may change slightly for 2010, but are likely to remain much the same.

Download the 2009 Guidelines and Application Form below in either PDF or Word. You may also request copies from your local Regional Arts Development Office (RADO) (see RA Network) or, if you aren't in an area serviced by a RADO, from the Funding Officers at Regional Arts NSW Tel 02 9270 2501 Email funding@regionalartsnsw.com.au.

Read the guidelines carefully to ascertain the eligibility of both your organisation and your proposed activity for funding under this program.

You must speak to the RADO for your region or a Funding Staff member at Regional Arts NSW (if your region has no RADO) about your project prior to applying.
