Artist/s to Artist/s Support

The Artist/s to Artist/s Support category assists structured relationships between artists/arts workers for a program of professional development.

Some examples are: mentorships, residencies, exchanges or extended programs of professional development.  Emerging and established artists and arts workers are eligible to apply.

Funding can be sought for artist’s fees for the mentor and/or the mentee, travel, residency expenses, on-costs and administrative costs.  Funding can also be sought for some project costs where the application can demonstrate strong professional development outcomes for the applicant.

The Regional Arts Fund is an Australian Government funding initiative.

 

Objectives

• benefit the artist’s / arts worker’s professional career/s.

Eligibility

Individuals.

Applications should be submitted by the artist/arts worker who will benefit from the program of professional development.

Groups.

Applications can also be considered for small groups to work with other groups/organisations (eg. an emerging band with an established band within a specific music genre).

If the benefit is mutual and equal the application should clearly demonstrate the exchange and be signed by both parties. In structuring budget requests, applicants are reminded that benefits for non Territory based artists are not a priority for the Arts Grants Program.

The Regional Arts Fund does not support overseas activities.
