The 2019 recipients of our Arts Grants have all demonstrated a fantastic calibre of creativity, inspiration and passion in their unique and stunning project proposals. Making the selection for these recipients was no easy feat for our team given the high quality of talent demonstrated by these established and emerging artists, but we trust you will find all their creations truly impressive.
We are so excited to see them being showcased at Rainbow Serpent Festival in 2019 and can’t wait for you to be enchanted by them too! We welcome your applications for our artist grants in 2020 if you feel inspired to showcase your creations as well. Stay tuned for some sneak peek previews coming soon from our artists as they bring their projects to life.
