The Australia Council for the Arts just awarded me a $10 000 ArtStart grant to assist in “laying the foundations to make a living as a sound and multimedia artist”.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
Amongst other things I will be using the money to upskill, purchase new equipment and collaborate with interstate artists and organisations. Check out the ArtStart December 2009 assessment meeting report for further information.
If you are a recent creative arts graduate I highly recommend submitting an application in a future ArtStart grant round. The next deadline is the 8th of March 2010.
