LOCAL artists have more opportunities for funding, thanks to recent changes to the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grants program. Grants of up to $15,000, an increase from the previous $10,000 cap, are available to help both emerging and established artists, creatives, and producers with a variety of projects.
A new Small Grants Program, offering up to $3,000, is also available year-round, alongside a Professional Development Grant offered as a rolling fund. The program supports artists in skill development, creating new work, and expanding their audiences.
RADF grants are offered in two main categories: Arts Projects and Artist Development, with various types of grants available within each. Applicants must reside or be based in the Sunshine Coast Local Government Area or, if based outside the local government area, demonstrate how the project will directly benefit residents in the Sunshine Coast.
The current major project and artist development round closes Monday October 7 2024. www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/living-and-community/grants-and-funding/grantsprograms/arts-funding/regional-arts-developmentfund.
