Regional Arts Fund Tasmania
The Regional Arts Fund is an Australian Government program that supports sustainable cultural development in regional and remote communities in Australia.
The program is managed by Regional Arts Australia and, in Tasmania, by RANT Arts.
Applications are only accepted from Tasmanian artists/arts workers or organisations.
Objectives
The objectives of the Regional Arts Fund are to support and promote participation in, and access to, Australia's arts and culture in regional and remote Australia, and through doing so:
- encourage and support sustainable economic, social and cultural outcomes in regional communities
- develop partnerships and networks which leverage financial and/or in-kind support for regional arts activities and encourage ongoing collaboration
- develop audiences and broaden community engagement with the arts
- increase employment and professional development opportunities for, and raise the profile of, regional and remote artists
- support quality and viability of artistic and cultural activity.
To achieve these objectives, the Regional Arts Fund will award grants for projects and programs benefiting regional and remote areas.
