read moreEight Western Australian regional organisations will share in $289,381 to deliver events and activities - from literature to arts and crafts to music - at regional festivals.
The funding comes from the Western Australian Government’s latest round of the Regional and Remote Festivals Fund - a program delivered as part of the Regional Arts and Cultural Investment Program (RACIP), which supports arts and cultural activity at regional and remote festivals in Western Australia.
Esperance Community Arts will receive $47,080 for the Kaddatji Nyungar Boodja Community Sculpture project, a series of workshops for artists and community members to share knowledge of local plant species and cultural issues.
Artists will work with community members to create large scale sculptures of four culturally significant plant species from recycled textiles over three months to be displayed at the Esperance Wildflower Festival in September 2021.
Other initiatives receiving grants through the program are:
Funding of up to $50,000 per applicant is available towards the direct costs associated with delivering arts activity that is part of a series of events comprising a festival.
The Regional and Remote Festivals Fund is open to WA groups, organisations or individual artists, WA regional local government authorities and Aboriginal communities in WA.
Western Australian Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman noted "we know that our arts sector, particularly in regional WA, has had a tough year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
"So, it's great to know that these initiatives will be providing an outlet for artists, and opportunities for community members to get involved and be creative."
Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan added "The RACIP continues to be an important grants program for arts in regional WA, as it contributes to our regions' vibrancy and the initiatives it funds generate economic activity.
"Driving creativity among artists and their communities, it is giving people in regional WA a unique opportunity to take part in the development of local festivals."
