Art funds open to connect creatives to the community
Funding for artists, community groups and creatives looking to adapt and innovate in the new normal is now open for applications.
Individuals, cultural groups or organisations are encouraged to apply for the Isaac Regional Council's Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF).
Mayor Anne Baker said creativity connects and energises our regional communities, improving our health and wellbeing.
"As recent challenges have shown, our Isaac knows how to pull together in times of crisis," Mayor Baker said.
"In these tough times our arts, cultural and creative groups are at the forefront in showing how to innovate, adapt, support each other and, importantly, stay connected.
"These attributes will serve us well as we continue our path to recovery.
"Creativity connects our people, powers communities by improving their residents' health and wellbeing, and provides opportunities for cultural tourism attracting visitors to our region and further stimulating creative industry development.
"If you're an individual, cultural group or organisation who has a creative idea to bring to your community together in a COVID safe way, I encourage you to apply."
