If you’re a community group or not-for-profit organisation based in regional Victoria, the Small Regional Presenters grant can provide you with funding to program and present shows in your area. The program also supports local skills development and capacity building by encouraging the development of long-term plans and audience development strategies.

The 2024 Small Regional Presenters program will be delivered by Regional Arts Victoria for shows being staged in 2025.

Who can apply?

You can apply if you don’t already receive organisational or multi-year funding through Creative Victoria and are:

• an incorporated not-for-profit organisations/regional community presenter
• a local government authority.

Applicants can apply as either:

• New or emerging volunteer small regional presenters who have not yet developed and delivered a consistent annual program in 2022 to 2024.
• Returning volunteer community presenters with a history of providing quality programming to their communities. These presenters want to continue presenting live performance in their communities to further grow and develop audiences.  These presenters are defined as presenting at least one (1) live performance per year for at least two (2) years.
