The family tradition of giving to enrich cultural life began with Sidney Myer, a passionate supporter of the arts, and remains a central focus for the family today.<br></p> <p>Most particularly, we acknowledge the strong connection between the arts, creativity and a healthy community – and the role Sidney Myer Fund can play in upholding the integrity of Australia’s arts community. <br></p> <p>Sidney Myer Fund believes individual artists, creators and cultural leaders are the life-blood of our arts community yet all too frequently the income derived from their labour does not amount to a livelihood. Artists, like any professionals, need time to develop and practise their vocation in circumstances which support reflection and encourage risk taking. </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="content-middle"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="content-middle-left col-xs-12 col-lg-6 col-md-6 extend-container-left"> <div class="content-middle-heading"> <h1>Arts & Culture Program grantmaking</h1> </div> <div class="content-middle-description"> Our current strategic focus is championing individual artists, creators and cultural leaders to be bold and ambitious.<br></div> <!-- <div class="content-middle-learn-more"> <a href="/grant-opportunities-list/sidney-myer-creative-fellowships" class="slide-btn-read-more" title="">Learn more</a> </div> --> </div> <div class="content-middle-right col-xs-12 col-lg-6 col-md-6 extend-container-right"> <div class="content-middle-heading"> <h1>A New Approach (ANA)</h1> </div> <div class="content-middle-description">Australia’s leading arts and culture think tank, ANA was established by The Myer Foundation in partnership with the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and the Keir Foundation to address a shortfall in up-to-date, independent, and accurate data and research supporting investment in Australia’s arts and cultural sector. </div> <div class="content-middle-learn-more"> <a href="https://www.myerfoundation.org.au/our-impacts/A-New-Approach" class="slide-btn-read-more" title="">Learn more</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="content-middle-left col-xs-12 col-lg-6 col-md-6 extend-container-left test"> <div class="content-middle-heading"> <h1>Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships</h1> </div> <div class="content-middle-description"> First awarded in 2011, the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships provide unrestricted grants of $200,000 tax free over two years to individual Australian artists, creators and cultural leaders.
