CLASS - Central Lakes Art Support Scheme

 

These grants are administered by the four Community Arts Councils in the Central Lakes Trust region to increase, at a local level, both participation in the arts and the diversity of arts available to the community. The four Community Arts Councils are based in Alexandra, Wanaka, Queenstown and Cromwell.

The maximum amount per project that can be funded through this Scheme is $2,000. If funding greater than $2,000 is required, then a direct application should be made to CLT by way of the standard CLT grant application form.
