The Australia Council has announced that it will provide approximately $5 million to the 2020 Resilience Fund to provide support for Australian artists experiencing negative effects of COVID 19. Funding, by application, is available in three streams:
-
Survive: Small grants for individuals, groups and organisations to offset or recoup money lost due to cancelled activity
-
Adapt: Grants for individuals, groups and organisations to adapt their arts practice and explore new ways of working
-
Create: Grants for individuals, groups and organisations to continue to create artistic work and/or develop creative responses in this time of disruption
Further information on this scheme and other support packages for artists, is available at: https://www.australiacouncil.gov.au/funding/funding-index/2020-resilience-fund/
