The Arts Portfolio Report - 15 June 2016

Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)

Council received applications totally over $6,000 for the final funding round of 2015-16. The applications were assessed by the Committee and the report is tabled at today’s Council meeting for approval.

Council is currently preparing the RADF bid to Arts Queensland for funding for the 2016-17 financial year. Over the coming months, as a requirement by Arts Queensland, we will be revising the funding guidelines and application process to ensure that we appropriately disperse the limited funds available across the region to our arts community. I am excited about where this review opportunity may take our program in partnership with Arts Queensland.
