SHABANA AZEEZ URGES YOUNG ARTISTS TO APPLY FOR $400K IN CARCLEW GRANTS
If you’re a young creative — or know one — this is your moment.
Carclew’s expanded $400,000 grants program is now open — supporting the next generation of South Australian creatives, with a call to action from local girl turned international star Shabana Azeez (HBO’s The Pitt).
Backed early by Carclew, Azeez is part of a powerful alumni network — including Emma Hough Hobbs and Lucinda Penn — proving what can happen when emerging artists are given the support, space and confidence to create. Emma Hough Hobbs’ Le***an Space Princess took out the prestigious Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival and is airing on Netflix, and Lucinda’s beautiful murals grace the Adelaide Markets and Airport through to across the globe — putting South Australian talent that once started with a Carclew grant firmly on the global stage.
Delivered through the South Australian Government’s A Place to Create cultural policy, with support from Arts Minister Kyam Maher.
This is the largest investment in Carclew’s history, with grants of up to $20,000, new quick-response funding and more opportunities to apply throughout the year — designed to help young creatives take that first step and build momentum.
Applications close 14 May 2026. Apply now: www.carclew.com.au (http://www.carclew.com.au/)
