The Orana Arts Small Grants Program
Our annual small grants program is offered to support the development of eligible arts and cultural activities across Dubbo, Warrumbungle, Narromine and Gilgandra.
- The funding is designed to:
- Increase opportunities for people living in the Dubbo, Warrumbungle, Narromine and Gilgandra local government areas to access a diverse range of arts programs
- Enable Orana Arts communities to explore and express their cultural identities through local-led projects
- Bring social and economic benefits to the communities within the Orana Arts region through training, employment and promotional opportunities.
Your creative work deserves to be seen. Here's how we can help.
We're building a regional creative platform that connects artists, communities, and visitors with each other. As we build, we will be sharing. To be part of it tell us: who you are and what you're making.
