Council is pleased to announce that another round of Whittlesea Creative Communities Fund (WCCF) has closed.
This grant fund has been introduced to provide some financial support to artists and creative groups who are economically affected long-term by the COVID-19 pandemic. This round will continue to build on the successes of the previous three rounds in developing the capacity of local artists and putting City of Whittlesea on the creative map.
This grant is open to those working in our local creative sectors including artists, musicians, performers, producers, community artists, not-for-profit arts organisations and community/cultural groups to create and present work.
Funding of up to $2000 will be provided. Council understands that artists are able to provide community connection and creativity to survive now and beyond this period positively. The arts are a proven and effective vehicle known to strengthen community connection, emotional wellbeing and recovery.
