Funding
The Alexandra Community Arts Council
meets monthly on the first Monday of the month.
Our focus is supporting the arts, both visual and performing. We also support the placement of art in public places for the enjoyment of all.
Every two years, in January, we present Art in the Garden a platform for artists and performers hosted in gardens in various locations around Alexandra and environs.
Central Lakes Art Support Scheme.
We administer, on behalf of the Central Lakes Trust the Central Lakes Art Support Scheme (CLASS) for the Alexandra Earnscleugh, Manuherikia and Teviot wards.
Projects can be funded to a maximum of $2000, and are limited to one application per year. Applications cannot be considered where the applicant has also requested funding directly from Central Lakes Trust.
In general, funding for a startup project will be supported for the first three years only.
