Visions Australia Round 16
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, supporting costs such as exhibition design, crating, installation, freighting, and artist fees.
The Program delivers two funding opportunities per calendar year, usually opening in February and September and closing a month later. 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 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, with consecutive exhibition dates and include at least one regional/remote venue. Tour applications must include venue confirmation forms from each venue. Development applications must include expressions of interest forms from each venue.
