Posted on September 5, 2022
Arts Queensland has announced funding for the 2022-2023 Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) program, awarding council $39,500.
Combined with council’s contribution and previously returned funds, this brings the funding pool to more than $66,000 available to individuals and not-for-profit groups.
‘These grants are available to locals undertaking arts, culture and heritage-related activities,’ said Mayor Kerry Hayes.
‘We saw a great array of activities funded through last year’s grants. There was everything from a school song and music video and pottery workshops to glass bead making and more!’
Minister for the Arts Leeanne Enoch said the Palaszczuk Government is investing $2.08 million through RADF in 2021-2022.
‘RADF in 2021–2022 will provide valuable social, health and economic outcomes for regional Queenslanders, and support our Government’s 10-year arts roadmap priorities to strengthen Queensland communities, activate local places, and drive social change across the state,’ she said.
‘Our investment complements the Palaszczuk Government’s wider commitment to regional arts, including continued support of $6 million over four years for the Regional Arts Services Network (RASN).’
Applications for round one are now open and will close on Friday 28 October 2022. Applications will be assessed by the Central Highlands Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee (CHACAC) on 11 November 2022 and then presented at a general council meeting for endorsement.
There will be two subsequent funding rounds over the remainder of the financial year, closing on Friday 23 February 2023 and Friday 5 May 2023 respectively.
