To continue addressing the far-reaching impacts of the 2019–20 bushfire season, Regional Arts Victoria delivered the Step Up program to support the social recovery of disaster impacted communities through arts and cultural activation.
A Vic Health initiative, Future Reset: Young People, Arts and Mental Wellbeing will engage nine organisations to create events, installations and other creative projects across 2023 and 2024 to enhance mental wellbeing through art and creativity – with young regional creatives leading the way!
Creative Recovery in East Gippsland in 2023 is an extension of our previous work in the region following the 2019/2020 bushfires.
After the devastating Victorian fires over the Summer of 2019/2020, Regional Arts Victoria received funding from Creative Victoria and Bushfire Recovery Victoria to undertake creative recovery activities.
Student Voice for Recovery was a student-led bushfire recovery program providing student recovery, wellbeing and connection opportunities.
We administered the funding for creative arts projects that reflected the experiences of local communities directly affected by the 2009 bushfires.
