Applications are now open for Creative Communities Partnership Program
Creative Communities Partnership Program 2024 applications are now open!
Established in 2012, the Creative Communities Partnership Program (CCPP) has supported regional staffing partnerships between Country Arts SA and local and statewide arts organisations; local and state government agencies; regional development and other non-government organisations in health, environment and education.
Since then, more than 25 partnerships have been established that have helped communities strengthen their connection to the arts and create career pathways and employment for artists.
The Creative Communities Partnership Program partners with organisations to employ Arts and Cultural Facilitators and supports each partner to develop a program of deliverables which include , but are not limited to:
- creating opportunities for artists to develop their practice and create new work,
- assisting regional and remote communities to manage their own arts and cultural aspirations, and
- building community capacity through the development of cultural experiences, creative pathways and community enrichment.
Country Arts SA invites eligible regional organisations who are interested in progressing their arts and cultural activities to submit an EOI. We are particularly interested in partnerships that align with our strategic goals and focus areas, which include a commitment to First Nations first and to empowering artists and communities to realise arts and cultural priorities and drive change through the arts.
