Forecast Opportunity View - VAR15-2022

The objectives of the 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

There is no funding cap for individual applications.

Funding is delivered through two streams: development or touring, supporting costs such as research, design, production, transport, installation and personnel.

The Program delivers two funding rounds each year usually closing in March and September. The Minister for the Arts, or his delegate approves funding under the Program Guidelines.

Funding is available through annual or multiyear funding agreements subject to available funds.

To be eligible organisations must have as their principal purpose the arts and/or cultural heritage (usually defined in the organisation’s Constitution or Articles of Association, and reflected in the Annual Report and Business Plans).

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 or be listed as eligible in the Program Guidelines.
