Under the Arts Strategic Initiatives grant program, administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC), the following funding is being provided for the current and next financial year:
The funding allocations come after an online survey of Western Australiaโs arts and cultural sector in late 2023. The survey received 624 responses from creative artists, organisations, and a range of arts workers. Results showed the top priorities for the sector as: income generation, capacity building and advocacy.
The consultation helped the State Government to decide how to best support the arts in WA.
