Welcome to

The Ian Potter Cultural Trust

The Ian Potter Cultural Trust was established in 1993 by The Ian Potter Foundation to encourage and support the diversity and excellence of emerging Australian artists.  The Trust offers grants of up to $7,000 to assist early career artists of exceptional talent to undertake professional development, usually overseas.

The Ian Potter Cultural Trust's philosophy of development of the Arts through support of talented individuals is unique in Australia. Since it was established, more than 1000 artists have been supported by grants totalling over $3.4million. 

The Trust funds nationally, and across the spectrum of the Arts from visual arts to performing arts and music to literature, spanning traditional art forms right through to experimental mediums.
