Statewide Regional Arts Fund Information Sessions!
Do you have an exciting arts project based in a community in regional Victoria? If you are a Regional Victorian and the project starts after July 2012, a Regional Arts Fund grant could get your project off the ground.
Applications close on Tuesday 13 March for Round One 2012 Project Grants.
Regionally-based Victorian organisations and individuals can apply for Project Grants of up to $15,000 for projects involving professional artists that result in a public outcome in the community in which they are based.

The Regional Arts Fund was established to give all Australians in regional and remote areas better access to opportunities to practice and experience the arts. The Regional Arts Fund also aims to increase opportunities for isolated Indigenous and/or smaller regional communities.
The Regional Arts Fund supports the arts in regional, rural and remote Australia and is administered in Victoria by Regional Arts Victoria.
