2007 ACT Arts Fund Open For Applications

Chief Minister and Minister for Arts Jon Stanhope is encouraging the ACT’s arts community to apply for a share of the 2007 ACT Arts Fund. The fund was designed to boost the ACT’s already thriving arts culture. The funding categories for 2007 are Key Arts Organisation Funding, Community Arts Funding, Project Funding, and a suite of awards and prizes, including the ACT Poetry Prize, the ACT Book of the Year Award and up to three Creative Arts Fellowships.

This year the ACT Arts Fund has been enhanced so that applications are simpler to complete and guidelines are easier to understand.

For application forms and the 2007 ACT Arts Fund Information Booklet, phone artsACT on 6207 2384.

All applications must be received by 5pm Friday 9 June 2006. Forms and information are also available at www.arts.act.gov.au.
