Yes, there are. As a general rule, arts grants do not fund:
- Fundraising activities, awards, competitions, eisteddfods, prizes, private tuition
- Tertiary education
- Educational institutions seeking funding for core business
- Personal expenses (except for a limited number of Fellowships and Scholarships)
- Projects or activities that do not involve or benefit Australian practicing artists or arts professionals
- Projects or activities that do not have a clearly defined arts component
- Projects that have already taken place
- People who not completed an acquittal for a prior grant
- Staff or former staff of the funding body (there will be a time limit for former staff – usually will have to cease employment no less than six months before applying)
