The professional development workshops attracted funding from the Regional Arts Fund, enabling all sessions to be fully subsidised and free for participants to attend.
Gympie-based grant writer and arts consultant Olivia Everitt will facilitate the Grant Writing for the Arts: Rural Roadshow.
Mrs. Everitt said, “I’m excited to host this workshop in across six regions commencing early March. I have over 12 years’ experience in preparing grant applications for artists, organisations, festivals and projects in the arts and cultural sector, so this is an opportunity to share tried and tested methods to attract grant funding with participants. Having lived and worked in the Wide Bay Burnett region since 2017, I’m passionate about seeing increased investment in our local creative talent.”
The Grant Writing for the Arts workshop will be offered in six locations to increase its accessibility, and is recommended for artists, arts organisations, festivals, event managers, arts workers and creative businesses. No prior grant writing experience is necessary.
Registration is now open at www.oliviaeveritt.com/workshops or call 0432 556 830 to secure a place at your preferred workshop location.
This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia, administered in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance.
