Applications are now open for the 2021-22 ACT Heritage Grants Program which helps celebrate the history and heritage of the ACT.
“This is such an important program for the region and supports our community to tell rich stories of Canberra, with $387,000 available for an array of projects,” Minister for Heritage Rebecca Vassarotti said.
“Canberrans have a diverse range of local heritage at their doorstep, ranging from Aboriginal artefacts and places through to early European settlement and even to today’s modern architecture.
“The last round of the ACT Government’s grants funded 20 successful individual projects across Canberra including short films, signage networks and even a heritage library for students at Red Hill Primary School.
“If you have a project that actively engages people in understanding, celebrating and promoting heritage places and objects, in particular First Nation’s heritage, through education, oral histories, tourism, interpretation or an event, I encourage you to apply.”
Applications close Friday 30 April 2021. Information on how to apply is available from the ACT Heritage website or by phoning 13 22 81.
