Arts Victoria Funding Closing Date Extension for Artists Affected by the Bushfires
Arts Victoria has extended the application closing dates for a
number of
its funding programs for professional artists and arts
organisations that
have been directly affected by February's tragic bushfires in
Victoria.
The closing date for applications to the Arts Development,
Community
Partnerships, Victoria Rocks and International programs has been
extended
to Tuesday 14 April for those who were unable to meet the
original closing
dates as a result of circumstances relating to the bushfires.
All the usual program eligibility criteria and application
requirements
will apply, details of which can be found on the Arts Victoria website. All
applications will be assessed as part of a competitive assessment
process.
Please provide with your application a brief signed cover note
explaining
how your ability to apply was affected by the fires. It is also
strongly
advised that you contact the relevant Program Manager to discuss
your
eligibility and project, before submitting your application.
Arts Victoria's
website also provides updated information on resources,
support and financial assistance available to the arts and
cultural sector
affected by the bushfires.
