The Creative Communities Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities.

Applications for the February funding round are now open and close Friday 24 February 2023. A further round for 2022/23 may be held in May if funding is available.

We are also seeking nominations for community representatives to sit on the assessment group that allocates funding.

Forms and guidance are available from the SWDC libraries, Council reception in Martinborough or on our website at www.swdc.govt.nz/grants
