Regional Arts Touring funding supports individual artists, arts and cultural workers, groups and organisations to tour arts and cultural work across regional NSW. The program aims to strengthen communities through equitable access to vibrant arts and cultural experiences, and to support new work by under represented artists, build audiences and contribute to community wellbeing.

Individuals and groups can apply for $10,000 to $75,000. Organisations can apply for $20,000 to $120,000. Applicants must contribute at least 10% of the tour's cost from other cash or in-kind support. Tours must start after 1 February 2027 and be completed by 31 January 2029. NSW-based regional applicants can also apply for funding toward a Sydney or Western Sydney leg of their tour.
