National Reconciliation Week is celebrated each year from 27 May to 3 June. This year’s theme is In this Together.

Congratulations to all of the 2019 winners and finalists for their outstanding efforts to promote multiculturalism and increase understanding of the benefits of cultural diversity in our community!

While you’re self-isolating, you may like to use your imagination and enjoy an activity produced by one of our South Australian Government funded arts and culture organisations.

Forty eight South Australian artists received funding totalling nearly $860 000 through the February 2020 round of the Independent Makers and Presenters Program.

Outcomes of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Development program, which closed in February 2020, have been announced. In a highly contested round, recommended applications totalled over $88 000.

To keep everyone connected and informed, a state-wide public information campaign has launched to promote SA.GOV.AU as the government’s central point of COVID-19 information for the community.

Watch the Premier’s message to multicultural communities, reminding us all to look out for each other and access available resources.

COVID-19 is already having a significant impact on our society and economy, and people working in the arts and culture sector are particularly feeling these effects.

The program’s 2020-21 funding round is now open, supporting projects and initiatives by South Australian practising professional Deaf and disabled artists.

A suite of activities are well underway to progress the recommendations made under the Arts and Culture Plan South Australia 2019-2024.
