The Queensland Government has been a significant investor in the small to medium arts sector for over 20 years.
It recognises the vital importance of this sector as the engine room for innovation and creativity. The sector also plays a key role in fostering community engagement and participation, providing regional access and supporting the professional development and employment of artists and arts workers.
The s2m program was introduced in 2007 to enhance the balance of arts development outcomes, encourage renewal and rejuvenation within the sector and address emerging priority areas. Forty-three Queensland organisations were awarded funding which has injected $8.462 million into the small to medium arts sector in 2008.

There are three s2m funding categories:
In 2008 only Annual funding will be offered, with just a small number of organisations likely to attract Annual Rolling funding. Triennial funding will be offered again in 2010 for 2011–2013.
Annual guidelines and application forms for 2009 funding are posted on this website. All applicants are advised to contact a Client Contact Officer in their artform area prior to submitting an application.
The program closes on 30 June 2008. It is expected that applicants will be notified of funding outcomes in October 2008.
