Visions of Australia Round 20
The objectives of Visions of Australia Program are to:
- increase access for Australian audiences to exhibitions of quality Australian arts and cultural material, with a particular focus on regional and remote Australia
- encourage partnerships between organisations such as museums and galleries, particularly collaboration across the collections sector, to form curatorial partnerships and where appropriate, access to mentoring and skills transfer opportunities
Program funding is delivered through two streams: development or touring. It supports costs such as exhibition design, crating, installation, freighting, and artist loan fees.
The Program delivers two funding opportunities per calendar year. The next round is anticipated to open in January 2025. The Program is an open and competitive process.
To be eligible organisations must be incorporated entities that have as their principal purpose the arts and/or cultural heritage.
Unincorporated groups with an arts or cultural heritage purpose are eligible to apply for funding but must be auspiced by an organisation that meets the above criteria.
For projects to be eligible, any proposed tour must include at least three venues located outside of the applicant’s state or territory. The tour must also include at least one regional/remote venue. Applications for touring projects must include venue confirmation forms from each venue. Development applications must include expressions of interest from each venue.
