Wollongong City Council announced the funding grants program on April 23, as a way of providing financial support for local artists who have been impacted by Coronavirus pandemic, and were unable to work and earn an income.
Creatives offering everything from kids' music workshops, to tutorials on paper stop-motion animation and performances by drag artists were among the 22 successful applicants.
Council has increased the funding program by a further $20,000, with almost all of the $30,000 from the first round allocated.
"I'm pleased to announce that we're increasing the funding pool by $20,000 and offering a second round of the grants program. Now's the time to get your application in - before the Thursday 21 May deadline," Wollongong Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said.
The one-off Creative Wollongong Quick Response Grants for arts and performance are valued at up to $1500.
They include a digital sharing option so artists can offer an online performance or workshop that will be shared on a Council platform. There is also an option to receive an additional $500 and perform at a Council event within the following 24 months.
