Regional Arts Fund

The Regional Arts Fund supports cultural development in communities across regional and remote Australia, and particularly encourages the establishment of networks and partnerships to promote social inclusion, the exchange of ideas and to create growth and opportunities in regional communities.

Grants are available to assist the professional development of, and provide employment opportunities for, artists based in regional areas as well as grants to assist communities to collaborate and participate in creative projects.

The Fund is delivered by the peak regional arts organisations in each state, and by arts departments in the territories.

Regional Arts Australia, the peak national organisation promoting the development of the arts for the one-in-three Australians who live in regional, rural and remote parts of the country, also receives support through the Fund for its biennial national regional arts conference.
