WHAT IS RADF?
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between state and local governments which invests in quality arts and cultural experiences across Queensland based on locally determined priorities.
RADF promotes the role and value of arts, culture and heritage as key drivers to: support diversity and inclusivity; grow strong regions; and provide training, education and employment opportunities for Queensland artists and local communities.
From 2015, Councils will deliver locally tailored RADF programs based on the identified priorities, opportunities and capacities of their local communities. This means that RADF may look different place to place as to best respond to the ways of working and aspirations of local communities.
It is expected RADF will:
- Grow local returns on arts and culture investments by being more flexible and focused on locally–determined outcomes and new ways of working
- Encourage transparency and local decision–making in Government by supporting outcomes identified in local council plans developed in consultation with communities
- Foster collaboration within communities and encourage new partnerships with private and others sectors to deliver improved outcomes For information on other Arts Queensland programs and opportunities please visit www.arts.qld.gov.au.
Applicants are urged to discuss RADF Guidelines with Council’s RADF Liaison Officer (Phone: 07 47 193 377 or email angelah@richmond.qld.gov.au)
