Program Benefits & Awards

Successful applicants for an arts space at GAC via this Open Call will be eligible for the following
FFAS support schemes:

i. Incubation Scheme, or
ii. Scheme for Developing Artists and Arts Groups

Incubation Scheme

This scheme is targeted at new, young artists, arts companies, associations and societies, community/amateur arts groups within the first three (3) years of practice or establishment.
The aim is to give new, young artists and arts groups the opportunity and platform to develop their artistic and organisational foundations, in an environment where they can interact with and learn from other artists, arts groups and the community around them.
Support will be given in the form of a rental subvention amounting to 80% of the head lease rental, capped at $800 per month, whichever is lower.
Artists and arts groups will be required to pay a Service Charge for the general maintenance of common spaces such as cleaning of common areas, pest control and security services based on a pro-ration of their gross floor area. Service charge is an indicative rate based on current and subject to review and revision. The final service charge rate will be stated in the Letter of Offer to successful applicants.
Tenants can also book shared facilities at preferential rates with the Place Manager in the Arts Centres to meet their periodic needs for spaces such as meetings, seminars, rehearsals, practices, etc.
1 x 3-year term Under the Incubation Scheme, the tenancy is on a 3-year term. AHL and NAC expects that some artists and arts groups will either find alternative workspaces as they develop greater resources and networks, or decide to step down or dissolve their activities. For others, they may choose to apply via Open Call for further support under the Scheme for Developing Artists and Arts Groups, as described below.

Scheme for Developing Artists and Arts Groups

This scheme is targeted at existing practising artists, arts companies, associations and societies, community arts groups with more than three (3) years of practice and a track record of activities and artistic growth.
The aim is to provide stability to strengthen artistic and organisational foundations, and to develop key programmes that will further artistic, organisational and audience development or outreach objectives.
Support will be given in the form of a rental subvention amounting to 80% of the head lease rental, capped at $3,000 per month, whichever is lower.
This higher quantum (when compared to the Incubation Scheme) is to recognise that Developing Scheme applicants are likely full-time groups and may require larger spaces.
Artists and arts groups will be required to pay a Service Charge for the general maintenance of common spaces such as cleaning of common areas, pest control and security services based on a pro-ration of their gross floor area. Service charge is an indicative rate based on current and subject to review and revision. The final service charge rate will be stated in the Letter of Offer to successful applicants.
