Regional Arts Services Network Expressions of Interest
In 2018, as part of implementing the Regional Arts Services Network, Arts Queensland (AQ) called out for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitably qualified and experienced companies to support, strengthen and promote vibrant and sustainable regional arts delivery.
With the aim of fostering, facilitating and promoting the sustainable growth and development of regional arts across the state, the Queensland Government committed $6.5 million over four years from 2017-18 for Indigenous and regional arts initiatives, including the employment of regionally based arts officers to establish a Regional Arts Services Network comprising:
- regionally based companies to deliver Regional Arts Services across designated regions
- a company to deliver State Coordination Office services, including secretariat and coordinating functions for the Regional Arts Services Network.
EOIs addressed the Key Deliverables and the Evaluation Criteria outlined in the Information For Providers document, available via:
