SPARC Support Grant Program
ROUND ONE 2023/24 OPEN NOW!
The Shaping Plans to Advance Regional Culture (SPARC) Cultural Plan details the priorities for Council’s development for arts and culture in the Dubbo Regional Council Local Government Area. Developed to be a living document, it serves to define the key priorities and actions that collectively will provide our strategic direction. The plan will help to determine Council’s role in developing regional culture and positions the organisation to meet the cultural needs of the region.
The SPARC Support Grant Program has been established to support the deliverables of the SPARC Cultural Plan, and will allow Council to evaluate the success of applicants against the outcomes they intended to achieve.
Applications will be assessed based on how the project or program directly supports the actions within the SPARC Cultural Plan (PDF 27.7MB).
All applicants must read and understand the SPARC Support Grant Program Guidelines (PDF 343.6KB).
