Deadline: 22-Nov-20
The Redland City Council has launched the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) to support professional and emerging professional artists and arts workers to practise excellent art for and with communities for mutual development.
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Redland City Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
The focus for this round is ‘People and Place’. Grant applications that creatively explore the theme of stories of people and place in the Redlands Coast on Quandamooka Country are encouraged. Stories have the power to teach, entertain and inspire and can be expressed through song, visual arts, dance, music, craft, writing, theatre or design. Stories also allow them to share the challenges they currently face and applicants may wish to consider projects using digital platforms.
Objectives
- Support local artists, arts and cultural activities to deliver value for local communities.
- Provide opportunities for local communities to participate in arts and cultural activities.
- Invest in locally-determined priorities delivered through arts and cultural activities.
