Critical opportunity to take part in the NSW Arts Funding Program Review

A review of the NSW Arts Funding Program is being undertaken by Arts NSW. Support for Accessibility is a component of the review. Accessible Arts CEO Sancha Donald calls for your participation in the process, ‘Please add your voice to the debate by attending an information session, making a submission or sending us your comments focusing on specific opportunities for people with disability.’

The Review is seeking feedback around the following questions:
Who and what should be supported under the Arts Funding Program (Including eligibility, individual arts career pathways and the value added by peak organisations like Accessible Arts)
How the program could be structured to support vibrant arts and culture in NSW (Does the AFP achieve appropriate access for artists and audiences with disability?)
Administration of the program (Are the assessment criteria appropriate, transparent and accessible for you and your organisation and for artists with disability?)
Addressing the future (What has worked well for artists and audiences with disability in the past and where you would like to see more funding in the future?)

The AFP Review Discussion Paper can be downloaded from the Arts NSW website. Consultation sessions will be held at several locations in NSW (see Arts NSW website). You can make a formal response and/or participate in a consultation session. Please download the Discussion Paper Submission Form to guide your feedback. Submissions should be emailed to afpreview@arts.nsw.gov.au by 5pm on Friday, 26 July 2013.

SafARI 2012 National Call for Artist Submissions

SafARI is calling for submissions from emerging and unrepresented artists
working in diverse media across Australia to be considered for SafARI 2012. Solo
artists and/or groups of one or more artists will be considered.

SafARI is the unofficial fringe exhibition to the Biennale of Sydney that began
in 2004. SafARI exhibits the work of emerging and unrepresented Australian
artists across multiple sites in Sydney including Artist Run Initiatives (ARIs)
and public spaces. It is timed to coincide with the crucial first opening weeks
of the Biennale of Sydney in June 2012.

Successful artists for SafARI 2012 will be invited to attend a workshop in
Sydney in late October 2011 in preparation for the 2012 event. The purpose of
the workshop is to stretch individual artform practice and potentially seed new
collaborations for SafARI 2012. The Australia Council for the Arts has supported
artist attendance at this workshop through a 2011 ARI grant.

Submissions should include:

An artist statement (max 300 words)
Maximum of 7 images and/or footage
1 A4 page CV
Stamped SAE for return of material if required.
