Artist Employment Grants Program in Australia

Artist Employment Grants Program in Australia


Deadline: 6-Dec-21

The Government of South Australia has announced the applications for the Artist Employment Grants Program that directly employs South Australian professional practicing artists and arts workers. Activity may contribute to community recovery.

Independent artists may be commissioned to create and present new work or engaged to present existing work. Funding will support redevelopment of existing work for a living with COVID environment.

Artists may also be employed to undertake extended residencies to engage with communities.

A primary focus of these grants is confirmed new employment and risk mitigation for artists. Applications should include contingency planning for living-with-COVID circumstances. If activity cannot proceed due to public health restrictions, it is expected that artists will still receive payment.
