Who can apply?
You can apply if you are a resident of South Australia. (and)

Your age does not matter. We are interested in your ideas and your talent.
How much can I apply for?
You can apply for any amount up to $10,000 (it can be less but it can’t be more).
$10,000 is heaps. What if I only need $500 or something like that?
All good. We are really interested in supporting exciting talent and great ideas. Please apply for what you need to make your idea happen.
$10,000 isn’t enough. Can I include other grants or sponsors to make up the rest?
Sorry. No. This funding is only for projects needing $10,000 or less.
Can I apply to develop an idea but not present finished work?
Sorry. No. This funding is about making creative ideas happen and getting them to an audience.
If I’m already receiving a Carclew grant can I apply?
Yes!
Why do I have to address the three guiding principles and assessment criteria?
Because they are the boundaries that were determined by the group in charge of deciding where the money goes.
What can I apply for?
You can apply for all the costs associated with creating and presenting your idea. These include things like: materials and supplies; equipment hire; artistic fees; labor costs; venue hire; marketing and publicity… all the things you have to pay for to make your project happen.
How do I work out and prove how much it will cost (and how much to apply for)?
Make a list of all the things you will need - from the start of the project – to making – to installing/bumping in – to opening to the public – to packing it up. Talk about your list with other people who have experience in this form of art. Work out the things you’ll have to pay for and the things you can borrow or have donated. Get quotes wherever possible and estimate the total costs of all the things you’ll need to pay for. Explain this in the answer about MONEY.
Can I apply if I haven’t undertaken formal arts training?
Yes. There are many examples of successful artists who have never received formal training. It is, however, important that you (and/or people within your project) have experience in the style of art that you are seeking to make.
Can I submit more than one application?
Sure. If you want to. Every application will be assessed on its own.
How old do I have to be to apply?
Your age does not matter. We are interested in your ideas and your talent.
Is there a time limit for making the work?
Yes. Your project needs to be complete (including the public outcome) before June 30, 2020.
Who assesses my application?
Applications will be assessed by the ten young people responsible for this funding. They will be supported by Carclew staff but the decision/s will be theirs.
When will I know if I’ve been successful?
Before the end of June, 2019.
If I’m told I’m successful, when do I get the money?
After being notified of your success, you will meet with Carclew to discuss the funding contract. The money will be released once the contract has been signed by both you and Carclew.
