Artists and community groups in need of some extra cash can now apply for three grants through Country Arts SA.

One is called the Step Up Grant which is for regional and remote artists or communities to complete small cultural projects or skills development opportunities.

Another is the Step Out Grant which offers up to $10,000 for individuals and up to $25, 000 for organisations to help create high quality arts projects, create activities that develop cultural networks and build capacity for long term benefits.

The third is the Quick Response Grant which is for applicants who are unable to apply for support from other funding sources because the opportunity occurs outside of a normal grant round.
