What is RADF?
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), is a
partnership between state and local government. Its key
stakeholders are Arts Queensland, local Councils, RADF Committees and
regional and remote communities and their arts and cultural development
in regional Queensland.
Every Council in the program is required to adopt
an arts and cultural development policy, appoint the RADF liaison
officer and set up a publicly elected RADF Committee. The RADF
Committee consists of local artists and cultural workers, member of
cultural groups, local organizations or associations, or people active
in their community, and is ratified as an advisory committee to Council.
Funding is available for professional artists,
professional arts and cultural workers, community groups or people
active in their community, or for professional arts or cultural
activities.

You can apply for funding if:
-
You are an Australian citizen or have
permanent resident status in Australia
-
You require assistance toward costs of
professional services for projects within your local government area
-

Two rounds of funding are held each year and
