Senator Brandis announced funding for five Regional Artist Development Fellowships.
The fellowships are:
– The International creative development fellowship ($30,000) which is open to regional artists to support a placement or experience outside Australia to develop creative practice.
– The Indigenous creative development fellowship ($20,000) which is open to Indigenous regional artists to support a placement or experience outside their region (including international, metropolitan or other regions) to develop creative practice.
– The Young artist creative development fellowship ($15,000) which is available for regional artists aged between 18 and 26 to support a placement or experience outside their region (including international, metropolitan or other regions) to develop creative practice or support their career path.
– The Institutional fellowship and Indigenous institutional fellowship ($30,000 each) will each support a placement for a regional artist or arts worker at an Australian arts institution. The placement could include formal training, mentoring with institutional leaders or a work placement.
Regional Artist Development Fellowships are administered by Regional Arts Australia. Applications close at midnight on Friday 17 April 2015.
