Arts and Culture Grants Program October 2022 outcomes released

21/12/2022

Congratulations to the successful South Australian artists who have secured funding under the latest round of the Arts and Culture Grants Program.

Recipients of the October 2022 round will share in more than $1.7 million, with funding to support activity that is expected to employ more than 620 artists and arts workers.

Grants were recommended for more than 60 applications across a range of art making, presentation and touring, market development and skills development initiatives.

Funded activity includes support for established ceramic artist, Honor Freeman, to undertake twelve months of intensive studio practice and research, and to artist collective COLLECT for Bárbaros, anew contemporary dance work developed through a multi-disciplinary collaboration led by choreographer, Lina Limosani, visual artist, Thom Buchanan, and author, Sean Williams.

For the first time, a new category was offered for Major Projects – Biennial Project, which saw three applications recommended, including Gray Street Workshop for the development, making and documentation of new work for a major exhibition in 2025 to celebrate the studio’s 40^th anniversary.

Funding will also see the development of a new theatre work by No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability exploring the experience of returned veterans, and a new song cycle commissioned by Adelaide Chamber Singers in collaboration with poet and author, Kate Llewellyn, and composer, Anne Cawrse.

Six fellowship grants were also recommended for a range of art form practice, doubling the number of fellowships awarded in 2021.

Applications were assessed against published criteria by sector representatives, and the funding will support professional South Australian artists and arts organisations, spanning literature, visual art, craft and design and performing arts.

Further information about each grant category and recipients is available in the full list of recipients below.

The February 2023 round of the Arts and Culture Grants Program is currently open, with applications closing 6 February 2023.
