Welcome to
THE IAN POTTER
CULTURAL TRUST
The Ian Potter Cultural Trust seeks to encourage the diversity and excellence of emerging artists in Australia. The Trust makes grants of up to $7,000 to early career artists practising in a wide range of disciplines within the arts, including the performing and visual arts, crafts, music, the media, literature, design, community arts and other areas.
The Trust was established by The Ian Potter Foundation in 1993 to enable individual artists of exceptional talent to be given support to undertake professional development overseas, including postgraduate study. The Trust is distinctive in both scale and breadth, and unmatched in Australia.
Since 1999, The Ian Potter Cultural Trust has run a biennial Music Commissions program which supports the composition and creation of new Australian music. See Program Areas for more details.
The Trustees of the Cultural Trust are the same as the Board of Governors of the Foundation and the closing dates are the same as the Foundation.
