GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONAL SUPPORT
-
The 2026 Craft + Design Canberra Festival is supported by the ACT Government through the City of Design Initiative, helping to grow the Festival’s scale and reach while strengthening Canberra’s position as a UNESCO Creative City of Design.
Craft + Design Canberra is also funded through the ACT Government’s Arts Organisation Investment Program 2023 to 2026, supporting our year round work with artists and Canberra’s creative community. The program contributes to the ACT Government’s vision for Canberra to be recognised as Australia’s arts capital, outlined in Canberra: Australia's Arts Capital – a statement of ambition for the Arts 2021–2026.
Together, this investment supports the Festival, strengthens Canberra’s arts and design sector and creates opportunities for artists to connect with audiences locally and beyond.
-
Craft + Design Canberra is assisted by the Visual Arts, Craft and Design Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.
Craft + Design Canberra also receives multi year investment from Creative Australia, the Australian Government’s principal arts investment and advisory body.
