A basement rehearsal space, a performing arts company planning a piece of public art and a community café supporting disadvantaged people will all receive City Makers funds.
City Makers grants help people with innovative ideas to deliver programs, projects, events and small venues that bring about social and economic returns to Adelaide. The grants awarded in round one of the program will go to fifteen entrepreneurs, community groups and artists working on projects to enhance the vibrancy of our CBD.
