Federal Member for Durack, the Hon Melissa Price MP, encourages art and cultural organisations across the Durack electorate to apply for the Visions of Australia Program. The Visions of Australia Program provides funding to support the development and touring of quality exhibitions around Australia by Australian arts and cultural organisations.
“I encourage our exceptional local arts and cultural organisations to apply for this funding round” Melissa Price said. “Not only will this funding bring great arts and cultural heritage experiences to our community, it will also enable our local arts and cultural organisations to share our stories around Australia.”
The objectives of the Visions of Australia Program are to:
· increase access for Australian audiences to exhibitions of quality Australian arts and cultural material, with a particular focus on regional and remote Australia
· encourage partnerships between organisations such as museums and galleries, particularly collaboration across the collections sector, to form curatorial partnerships and where appropriate, access to mentoring and skills transfer opportunities.
Program funding is delivered through two streams:
· Development, which is for the costs of planning and producing an exhibition to tour. This includes research and design.
· Touring, which is for the costs to produce the exhibition and the costs to transport, install and dismantle the exhibition as well as deliver public programs.
Closing date for applications will be Friday 3 March 2023.
