Arts Development Scheme

Arts Development Scheme has now closed.

The City of Joondalup Arts Development Scheme is a fund designed to develop new audiences in the Joondalup area. The aim of the Scheme is to bring professional performing arts companies and artists into the City of Joondalup, for performances and workshops. The Scheme provides an opportunity for professional performing arts organisations in Western Australia to develop an audience base in the northern metropolitan area of Perth.

Organisations can apply for up to $10,000 towards projects taking place between June and November 2012.

Projects may be any performing arts initiative which engages the community and meets the funding criteria.

Examples include workshops, theatre performances, community cultural development and concerts.

Typical activities that would be considered by the City include:  

• Touring performances or workshops at high schools or primary schools;
• A series of performances or workshops at Leisure Centres or Libraries in the municipality;
• Performances in major venues in the area such as shopping centres, parks, community facilities; 
• Performances as part of other City projects (eg: Joondalup Festival, Little Feet Festival, NAIDOC week).

Applications for 2012 have now closed.
