Visions of Australia

The Visions of Australia Program provides funding to support the development and touring of quality exhibitions to regional and remote Australia by Australian arts and cultural organisations. Tours must include at least three venues outside the applicant's home state or territory. Tours originating in metropolitan areas may include metropolitan venues but regional and/or remote venues are a higher priority for funding. Tour applications must also include venue confirmation forms from each venue, and for development applications, expressions of interest forms from each venue.

The decision maker approves funding under the Program Guidelines based on an assessment by the Department and independent assessors.
