The Western Australian Government's Arts 15k-plus initiative is benefiting a diverse array of artists, performers and creators who have received grants worth up to $60,000.

From the WA Circus School’s Annual Youth Troupe Program receiving $59,930 to an $18,450 grant for the Yawuru Jarndu Aboriginal Corporation to create stories through textile design, the Arts 15k-plus program acknowledges the value of arts and culture in creating a vibrant, inclusive and connected community.

The program, which is currently open for applications, is available for programs or activities throughout Western Australia.

Western Australia Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman notes "Arts funding supports the development and growth of a vibrant arts and culture sector, that produces engaging high-quality experiences for everyone across the State to enjoy.

"I am thrilled to see a wide variety of locations and projects being produced from this funding.

"It's great to know that there's something for everyone from circus and physical theatre to literature and writing, along with my passions of theatre and music.

"If you have an arts project you'd like to bring to life, I encourage you to visit the DLGSC website and apply for funding."

Artists and organisations are urged to apply before February 17th, 2022. For more information and to apply, visit the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) Arts 15k-plus page.
