Toowoomba Regional Council aims to support and promote regional arts and cultural development, as it recognises the significant contribution vibrant arts and cultural programs, events, activities and pursuits can make to enhancing quality of life and promoting community pride.
Council also acknowledges this industry’s capacity to strengthen their region’s potential for tourism and economic development.
While the delivery of the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) program in partnership with Arts Queensland plays a major part in the development of quality art and arts and cultural practices across their regional community, many general types of arts and cultural activities are not eligible for RADF funding.

The broadly-held and informed opinion of their regional arts sector is that:
most ‘grassroots’ community arts and cultural activities are vital to, and underpin, the wellbeing of higher level arts development; and
a lack of ability to assist general arts and cultural needs will result in a ‘drought’ in artistic and cultural capacity building and bring about an environment of artistic and cultural isolation in their region.
Funding Information
Funding assistance (to a maximum of $ 4,000) is available for up to 75 per cent of the total project costs (excluding GST) per project, event or activity (subject to available funds).
