Deadline: 7-Sep-21
The Australia Council for the Arts is inviting nominations for the 2021 National Arts and Disability Awards to celebrate the work and achievements of both established and young artists, and the significant contribution of artists with disability to the vibrancy of Australian arts.
The Council’s research has highlighted the importance of profiling, celebrating and acknowledging the achievements of trail blazers and leading lights at all stages of career development. These prestigious national awards are one of the ways they do so.
The awards recognise outstanding and sustained contributions by Australian artists in all areas of practice – music, literature, community arts and cultural development (CACD), emerging and experimental arts (EEA), visual arts, theatre, dance or a combination of any of these areas.
