Deadline: 10-Oct-22
The Government of South Australia is seeking applications for its program entitled “Projects – Independent Artists and Groups” to support the development, production and presentation of new works by independent artists and groups across all art forms.
Development of new work might involve periods in the studio or rehearsal room or working with other artists. Applicants may seek assistance towards various stages of the work’s development, with or without a public outcome. Research projects are eligible if the applicant has a track record of achievement.
Funded activity may include playwriting, dramaturgy, creative development, manuscript draft and development and making work in the studio.
