RADF funding now open

Council is encouraging local individuals and community groups interested in arts and culture in the Lockyer Valley to put their hand up for the latest round of Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grants.

Financial assistance of up to $1000 is available to individuals and organisations for individual professional development, skills development workshops, mentorships, master classes and seminars.

Lockyer Valley Community Services Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said the funding would provide some engaging and exciting opportunities for our arts community.

“This is a great opportunity for emerging and established artists, artistic groups or art workers to develop their creative practice and arts business.

“Arts and culture certainly go a long way towards fostering strong communities and I encourage those interested to apply for this special funding round.

“The successful recipients of the RADF funding will no doubt increase their art career and develop future opportunities for projects that enhance the Lockyer Valley community,” Cr Hagan said.

RADF is a partnership between Lockyer Valley Regional Council and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

Applications can be made at www.lockyervalley.qld.gov.au/RADF, prior to 10am on Monday 20 June 2022.
