Applications are now being accepted for the Regional Arts Fund (NSW), one of the key funding sources for arts and cultural activities in regional, rural and remote communities of NSW.
The Regional Arts Fund (RAF) is an initiative of the Australian Government. It supports arts and cultural activities that have long term cultural, economic and social benefits, promote partnerships and cultural networks, and provide skills development opportunities.
In NSW, the RAF is administered by Regional Arts NSW. Funding is available for projects commencing after 1 January 2010 in the categories of New Initiatives, Partnerships and Residencies and Mentorships. Funding is available for one, two or three year projects.
“The value of this fund for arts and cultural development in regional NSW cannot be overstated,” said Elizabeth Rogers, CEO of Regional Arts NSW. “In 2009 a total of amount $326,200 was approved for a wide range of projects that included theatre projects, visual arts, multi-media, dance, music and film.”
“The approved projects were submitted from all regions of the state from the far west to the coast, engaging with artists and artsworkers, young people, disability groups and their general communities. In 2009 we were delighted to be able to support a number of applications for Indigenous projects including a three year project to build economic pathways for Aboriginal artists on the South Coast, a two year mentorship program for artists in Wilcannia and a 24 week artist-in-residency project across six towns in the Far West.”
Applications for the Regional Arts Fund (NSW) close on Friday 14 August 2009.
