$23 million investment in Northern Territory arts organisations

A $23 million investment from the Northern Territory Government will allow Arts organisations across the Territory to have the stability to plan, develop and showcase arts programs and services.

Applications are now open as part of the Arts Grants Program which offers funding for five years from 2025-2029.

Grants of up to $250,000 per year are available for established arts organisations under the Leading Arts Organisation category; and up to $50,000 per year for small arts organisations under the Key Arts Organisation category.

The funding is available to arts organisations that have a track record of delivering innovative projects and high-quality arts programs and services.

Government partnerships with arts organisations are important to the Territory’s social and cultural future because they help to empower artists; amplify the impact of the arts; and foster innovation, creativity, and collaboration.

Investing in the arts is also valuable to the NT economy with 23 arts organisations currently funded under the five-year program. This provides employment to more than 3000 artists and creatives, and delivers programs and services to around two million people.
