read moreInnovative arts projects in Western Australia including artforms ranging from cabaret to visual arts have shared in more than $650,000 in State Government funding.
The State Government has delivered funding for 13 new Western Australian arts projects through the Arts 15k-plus program.
The Arts 15k-plus program provides support for larger arts projects, with up to $60,000 for artists or organisations to deliver a one-off project or series of activities.
The Arts 15k-plus program runs alongside the Arts U-15k (under $15,000) program, which supports smaller opportunities and projects throughout the year.
The program has delivered $1.4 million since July 2022 and allows artists to bring high-quality arts and cultural experiences to new audiences and share Western Australian stories.
WA Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman advised “The Arts 15k-plus program gives our local artists the chance to work on a new project or program of activities commencing after February 2023.
"These artists and arts organisations will be supported to do what they do best – bringing exciting new ideas to life for us, their audience.”
