Open Call: Creative Development Support for Solo Parents in the Arts

We’re excited to invite applications for a new grant opportunity designed specifically to support a solo parent creative in our region. This initiative recognises the unique challenges faced by solo parents working in the arts — where over-stretched resources can often push creative practice to the margins, deepening feelings of isolation, anxiety and disconnection

This annual grant is generously brought to OVADA by a solo parent and Associate Artist Member, with the aim of creating space, community and tailored support for fellow solo parent creative over the course of one year

free to apply!
