Grants to release creativity

A DIVERSE range of creative arts projects will unfold around the Southern Downs thanks to Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grants.
The latest round will see six projects across the region benefit from more than $18,200, RADF commitee chair and Southern Downs Regional councillor Jo McNally said.
Cr Jo McNally said she and her committee members were delighted that the council continues to receive exciting applications of such a high standard.
“The RADF committee is pleased with the diversity of projects and we feel the funding will deliver on-going benefits to a number of communities within the Southern Downs,” she said.
Arts Minister Ian Walker said he believed funding councils and working closely with them to support grass-roots arts is an essential part of delivering the arts to all Queenslanders.
The RADF is a partnership between the Queensland Government and regional councils.
Round two is currently open for applications with the closing date being 8 December 2014.
