Regional Arts Development Fund 2021 – 2022 recipients
- 10 Aug 2021
Hundreds of community-led arts and cultural experiences will be activated across regional Queensland with funding of $4.38 million through the Regional Arts Development Fund 2021 – 2022 in collaboration with 59 councils state-wide.
Queensland communities will create new arts and cultural experiences, with opportunities for locals to learn and participate in the innovative experiences that will be developed and presented throughout Queensland.
Over the past financial year (2020–2021) RADF provided funding for projects as diverse as hip hop workshops in the Lockyer Valley, an EP recording of original songs by young artists in Cairns, a new mural in Wallumbilla’s main street showcasing locals in the Maranoa Regional Council, and a public art piano in the Mackay region.
RADF investment in 2021–2022 will keep the momentum with an exciting variety of projects providing valuable social, health and economic outcomes for communities and for the arts and cultural sector.
The Regional Arts Development Fund, established in 1991, is a long-standing success story between the Queensland Government and local councils, delivering rich art experiences for communities and providing professional development for regional artists and arts workers.
