About

Carclew Incorporated is Australia's largest multi-artform cultural institution dedicated to children and young people, based in South Australia. It acts as a grantmaker and program provider, offering funding, professional development, and creative programs to support young artists, children, youth, schools, and communities, aiming to transform young lives through creativity.

Tips for Applicants

Applicants should demonstrate clear benefit to young people in South Australia, show alignment with Carclew's focus on multi-artform creativity, and emphasise career development pathways for emerging artists. Given the organisation's strong First Nations commitment, programs engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and communities may be viewed favourably. Contact the organisation directly via their listed phone or email to discuss eligibility before applying.

Giving Philosophy

Carclew approaches its giving by investing in the creative development of young people and emerging artists in South Australia, supporting career building, skills development, and professional development. It values accessibility to arts and culture for all young people, with particular emphasis on First Nations artists and communities, and supports organisations that deliver arts experiences for children and young people aged 26 and under.
