Opportunities

 

Grants and funding
Information about funding support available through the Regional Arts Fund and other Australian Government programs.

Training
In recognition of the needs of one of regional Australia’s greatest assets - the commitment of its people - Regional Arts Australia has developed a much-needed national skills development and training program, Smart in Business - course in business skills for creative people, for the many thousands of individuals who work in an unpaid capacity to manage community-based cultural programs and activities within their communities. The course was reaccredited for five years in May 2008, and replaces the course known as "Creative Volunteering: No Limits".

Conferences
Regional Arts Australia hosts a biennial regional arts conference, the largest gathering of artists and arts workers in regional Australia.  The next conference will be in Launceston in 2010.  The states and NT also hold their own biennial conference or forum in the alternate year to the national regional arts conference.
