The Arts and Cultural Grants Program provides funding to artists, community groups and arts organisations to present creative arts and cultural projects that activate the city and amplify Adelaide’s status as a UNESCO City of Music.

These grants support professional development and presentation opportunities for Adelaide’s creative workforce, enabling a diverse year-round program of arts and cultural experiences that attract visitors and connect the community to the city.
