CULTURE, HERITAGE AND ARTS REGIONAL TOURISM PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN
In a boost for community organisations across regional Australia, the Morrison Government has today announced the opening of the new $3 million Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional Tourism (CHART) program, to be delivered in 2021 22.
Member for Wannon, Dan Tehan said the funding will assist local communities and economies to re-emerge from the pandemic.
“I encourage arts, cultural and heritage organisations…to apply for a CHART program grant today – this will assist us to continue to offer appealing cultural tourism experiences in our regional community.”
Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said the CHART grants program would support regional and remote communities to re-emerge from the COVID 19 pandemic.
“The program will help successful applicants including museums, galleries and historical societies to stage events and improve their facilities to encourage tourists to return to regional areas, providing a much-needed boost to their local economies,” Minister Fletcher said.
Under the program, community museums, galleries, and historical societies in regional Australia will be able to apply for grants of up to $3,000. Funding will support activities that encourage cultural tourism, through the preservation of Australia’s cultural heritage and the telling of the stories of local communities.
The Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA) is delivering the program on behalf of the Government.
Applications will close on 29 April 2022 or once all funding is expended, whichever comes first.
