Arts Queensland: Career development grants
Arts Queensland is accepting applications from Queensland artists and designers for their Career Development Grants program. The grants provide up to A$5,000 to assist artists and arts workers to pursue professional development opportunities that hone their craft and expand their horizons at national and international levels.
The grants are available as part of Arts Queensland’s professional development program. Artists can apply for a Career Development Grant at any time throughout the year and are generally notified between five and eight weeks of receipt of submission. Applications must be received at least five weeks before the project start date to be considered.
The following are examples of Queensland designers and craftspeople that were funded within this grant category in 2008:
– Mel Robson received funding towards travel expenses that were used to attend an international symposium on ceramics and print at a ceramics studio in Hungary as a guest artist, and to undertake a one month residency as part of the symposium.
– Julie Shepherd received funding towards travel to China to study and work in an artist residency, to research traditional and contemporary porcelain techniques and forms, to develop prototypes of new work in porcelain and to attend the International Ceramic Fair in Jingdezhen.
– Linda Carroli received funding towards attending the CABE Urban Design Summer School in Newcastle, United Kingdom.
– Jacqueline Orme Ward received funding to be used towards exhibiting a collection of shoe designs at the Design Fiesta in Tokyo and in order to visit the Tokyo Shoe Fair.
This is an ongoing opportunity.
