The Marketing Grant for NSW Artists

The Marketing Grant for NSW Artists has been initiated by NAVA with funds made available from Arts NSW. The aim is to assist professional visual artists and craftspeople in NSW to effectively promote and market their work throughout NSW, interstate and overseas through creative and cost effective marketing initiatives and campaigns. Funds are intended to assist directly with the costs associated with the development and implementation of a Marketing Plan, for example, the preparation and distribution of a portfolio, conducting market research, building contacts, creating and maintaining a database, establishing a website or undertaking publicity that may or may not be in relation to an exhibition.

Closing dates: 15 February, 15 May, 15 August and 15 November.

The Marketing Grant Scheme for New South Wales Artists has been initiated by NAVA to assist professional visual artists and craftspeople to effectively market their work throughout NSW, interstate and overseas. Funds for the Scheme have been made available by Arts NSW specifically to encourage visual artists residing in NSW to undertake creative and cost-effective marketing initiatives and campaigns.

These funds are to assist directly with the costs associated with the development and implementation of a Marketing Plan. Applications for assistance toward production of artwork, space rental, freight, insurance, or technical assistance costs will not be considered (the Janet Holmes à Court Artists' Grant, another NAVA initiative, offers grant assistance in some of these areas.) To apply for a grant, you must be a professional artist.

Indigenous artists and artists from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Applications must reach the NAVA office, or be postmarked by the above dates. If a deadline falls on a weekend, applications will be accepted up to 5pm on the following Monday.

• Grants up to $1,250 ($1,375 inc GST) are available to individuals
• Grants up to $2,500 ($2,750 inc GST) are available to groups
• Individuals and groups are eligible for one grant only from this scheme in any 12 month period

The Marketing Grant Scheme for NSW Artists is a NAVA initiative, made possible through the generous devolution of funds from Arts NSW.
