Deadline: 30-Nov-22
The Flying Arts Alliance is seeking applications for Quick Response Grants that aim to support small arts or cultural projects that cannot be funded by other means because of their nature or timing.
For example, you may wish to attend a workshop or complete a project within a certain time frame and cannot access appropriate funding through any other means.
Regional Arts Australia contracts regional arts organisations (Regional Program Administrators) in each state and territory to deliver the program and award grants to artists, arts workers and organisations. Regional Arts Australia and Regional Program Administrators also deliver projects of a strategic nature.
Objectives
- The objectives of the Regional Arts Fund are to support and promote participation in, and access to, Australia’s arts and culture in regional and remote Australia, and through doing so:
- Encourage and support sustainable economic, social and cultural outcomes in regional communities;
- Develop partnerships and networks which leverage financial and/or in−kind support for regional arts projects and encourage ongoing collaboration;
- Develop audiences and broaden community engagement with the arts;
- Increase employment and professional development opportunities for, and raise the profile of, regional and remote artists; and
- Support quality and viability of artistic and cultural activity.
Streams
- These guidelines cover funding for grants through two funding streams:
- Project Grants, for arts projects, professional development for artists and arts workers, and community capacity building projects
- Quick Response Grants, for small arts projects, professional development for artists and arts workers, and community capacity building projects.
