The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) is an initiative designed to support arts and cultural activities in regional and rural areas, often focusing on communities outside major urban centres. It aims to:
Encourage local arts development by providing funding and resources to artists, groups, and organizations in country or regional areas.
Enhance cultural engagement within these communities, making arts more accessible and vibrant.
Support creative projects that reflect the unique identity and stories of rural regions.
Build local capacity by fostering skills, networks, and sustainable arts practices
South West Arts will run free information sessions across southwest NSW to assist individual, community groups and organisations in developing their ideas and writing grant applications.
