Projects Supported by Creative Engine

Our grants and opportunities support a number of new works by local creatives.

Creative Engine offers regular grant rounds to invest in emerging projects produced by those with a strong connection to the Greater Geelong region.

The grants, both financial and in-kind studio access within the arts centre’s landmark Ryrie Street building, are designed to directly benefit local G21 artists and other artists with strong connections to our community in their pursuit to develop fresh, innovative and exciting work.

Selected projects span multiple artistic disciplines, including dance, magic, theatre and docu-film, but share in common their ability to meet the program’s three selection criteria: connection, innovation and thoughtfulness.
