CAPO is a volunteer non-profit organisation that has supported the ACT region's artists for 29 years. Since its establishment in 1983, CAPO has disbursed over 1.8 million dollars in arts fellowships and awards with support from Canberra’s local, national and international business communities.

The CAPO Fellow is expected to act as an ambassador for CAPO, and to ensure that the CAPO name is given positive exposure during the term of the Fellowship.

Applicants for the CAPO Fellowship should be of high standing in their chosen field. This should be demonstrated by evidence of commitment to their practice over a significant period of time.

The purpose of the CAPO Fellowship is to enable an artist to concentrate on his/her work for a set period of time (up to one year). Normally this assistance will be aimed at enabling an artist to complete a body of work, develop a new technique, or simply improve the standard of their work by concentrating on it more fully for a period.

No specific sum of money is set aside for the CAPO Fellowship. As with all types of CAPO assistance, it is subject to availability of funds and the amount will be advised in December 2012.

There are a number of grants and awards available - they are listed below:

  • CAPO Fellowship: maximum $15,000
  • Singapore Airlines Travel Award
  • Rosalie Gascoigne Memorial Award (Sponsored by Community CPS Credit Union): maximum $5000
