Helpmann Fellowships 2026 Online Info Session
Description
Dream big. Be bold.
To find out how your bold ideas can become a reality, join us for our Online Information Session on Tuesday 4 August at 6pm. Ask questions and hear from past Helpmann Fellows, Brittany Gallasch (Theatre, 2023), James Watson (Theatre, 2020, 2022) and Bryan May (Visual Arts 2025) before you start work on your application.
Three Helpmann Fellowships of up to $7,500 are available to support ambitious, self-directed projects that advance the artistic and professional development of emerging creatives.
Proudly supported by the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation, Fellowships are open to emerging creatives across all disciplines, including individuals and collectives. Funding can support larger-scale creative projects, tailored professional development, or a combination of both.
Previous Fellowships have supported:
Creating new work
Exhibitions and performances
Residencies and internships
Touring and recording
Specialised training
Long-term professional development
Every Fellowship is unique, giving graduates the freedom to pursue career-defining opportunities on their own terms.
