Deadline: 30-Sep-22
The Australian Government is seeking applications for its Visions of Australia Program to support audience access to Australian arts and cultural material, with a particular focus on tours to regional and remote Australia.
The Visions of Australia Program provides funding to support the development and touring of quality exhibitions to regional and remote Australia by Australian arts and cultural organisations.
Objectives
The objectives of the Visions of Australia Program are to:
- increase access for Australian audiences to exhibitions of quality Australian arts and cultural material, with a particular focus on regional and remote Australia
- encourage partnerships between organisations such as museums and galleries, particularly collaboration across the collections sector, to form curatorial partnerships and where appropriate, access to mentoring and skills transfer opportunities.
Streams
Program funding is delivered through two streams:Â
- Development: for the costs of planning and producing an exhibition to tour. This includes research and design.
- Touring: for the costs to produce the exhibition and the costs to transport, install and dismantle the exhibition as well as deliver public programs.
Funding Information
Funding of approximately $2.5 million is available each year across two funding rounds.
