Why does Council have a Triennial arts grants program?•Profile the reputation of Melbourne as an arts city •Support organisations to present arts programming in the city•Activate the city with arts activities•Encourage artists and audiences to engage and connect with each other•Develop sustainable arts programming•Increase access and participation on the part of a wide and diverse audience •Strengthen our national and international artistic and cultural connections•Engage residents, workers and visitors in a diverse range of art delivered in the city

What is its purpose?• Support innovation and experimentation in

content, practice and engagement. • Enhance the Melbourne brand with a focus on

excellence.• Support participation in and access to the arts

and creative expression, including specific target groups such as children and families.

• Increase city activation through delivering programming that increases city activity and attracts people into the City of Melbourne throughout the week, and during the day and evening.

What makes the Triennial Arts Grants Program different to State and Federal government arts funding?

 • Council is not an arts funding body• Informed by the Local Government Act• Reflects Council Plan goals• Funding is sourced from rates and generated

income• Outcomes must occur within the City of Melbourne

boundaries• Council does not fund for regional, national and

international outcomes• Government organisations are not eligible to apply • Only not-for-profit organisations are eligible
