Fuel Local Creativity: Microgrants 2026

About Arts North West

Arts North West supports creative growth in the New England North West of NSW, fostering collaboration, capacity, and cultural development across 11 local government areas. We believe in the power of creativity to strengthen communities, build resilience, and inspire change.

Why This Campaign Matters

Support regional artists with microgrants. Your donation helps fund tools, skills, and opportunities that keep creativity thriving in our communities.

Every year, Arts North West Microgrants provide up to $1,000 in flexible funding for independent artists, community groups, and cultural organisations. These small but powerful grants fuel skills development, purchase vital equipment, and open doors to opportunities that grow local talent and strengthen cultural life across our region.

Our Goal: $10,000 this AusArt Day

The Impact of Your Gift

$1,000 funds a full microgrant, empowering an artist or organisation to take their next step.

Even a small gift makes a big impact. Every donation fuels creativity where it’s needed most.

Why Now

AusArt Day is a national moment to celebrate creativity and rally support for the arts. By donating on this day, you’re part of a movement that champions local voices and ensures regional communities have access to the tools and resources they need to thrive.
