• Increase city activation through delivering programming that increases city activity and attracts people into the City of Melbourne throughout the week, and during the day and evening.
What makes the Triennial Arts Grants Program different to State and Federal government arts funding?
• Council is not an arts funding body• Informed by the Local Government Act• Reflects Council Plan goals• Funding is sourced from rates and generated
income• Outcomes must occur within the City of Melbourne
boundaries• Council does not fund for regional, national and
international outcomes• Government organisations are not eligible to apply • Only not-for-profit organisations are eligible
