Sector development

Maribyrnong provides support for arts organisations, individual artists and our creative community through a range of different opportunities.

Maribyrnong Arts Advisory Committee 2024-2027

The Maribyrnong Arts Advisory Committee supports Council and provides strategic advice on meeting the future arts and culture needs of our community.

Triennial Arts Partner Funding (2026-2029)

Arts, cultural or heritage organisations that are based in (or have a significant history of delivering work in) Maribyrnong, and have a strong track record of producing high‑quality work and engaging the community in meaningful ways, are encouraged to apply for Triennial Arts Partner Funding.

Apply for a grant

Here is your opportunity to apply for a grant that will assist your arts project.

First Nations Creative Exchange

Creative opportunities

Are you an artist or interested in creative activities? Apply for a residency, grant, busking or filming permit, or subscribe to our e-news to get regular updates on new opportunities.

Found Works Program

Found Works is a pilot program that encourages artists from the West to reapproach and rediscover performing arts works that were stopped or delayed due to disruption over the past two years, including the impact of coronavirus.
