Questions and Comments

  • Could we ask that for Creative Kids vouchers be able to use if class off provider starts streaming or uses Zoom online I realise this is state government but could be supported by Arts Orgs
    Karen Kerkhoven Karen Kerkhoven Thu 26th Mar, 12:45pm
  • Will arts orgs be eligible for Aus Co relief funding if they are also successful in obtaining the government's $100k stimulus package?
    Guest Guest Thu 26th Mar, 11:28am
  • What will be the main focus of the response package? (i.e. to relieve out of pocket expenses on projects that have since been cancelled or postponed? To be able to keep paying staff and artists? For organisations to be able to keep operating eg. utilities?). Where will the priorities lie
    Guest Guest Thu 26th Mar, 11:25am
  • I am an independent musician. I lost all my local as well as overseas gigs. will defy be losing all future multicultural festival concerts, all council related, have already lost two concerts for spiritual organisations in the coming months. Is ACA providing any special grants/funding arrangements for individual practitioners like me.
    Guest Guest Thu 26th Mar, 11:22am
  • I would ask them about available support for regional Queensland orgs and artists- noting
    QLD receives already receives less OzCo support than other states

    I understand they are freezed grant rounds currently open and pooling available funds into a
    new responsive grant program - that could be of most relevance/benefit.
    These questions are from Hamish Sawyer Curator

  • Eager to hear about the new programs being introduced to help us all in the short term (has a date been set for the announcement?). Equally I'm concerned about the consequences of suspending project and touring funding rounds and the effect that will have on organisations and artists moving forward.
    Guest Guest Thu 26th Mar, 10:49am
  • Can Frank expand on the suspended investment programs currently or due to open with regards to the February 4th 2020 Round. Does this round of projects come under the $5 million redistribution?
    Steven Mayhew Steven Mayhew Thu 26th Mar, 11:49am
  • With the June Playing Australia round now suspended, do you know when a new date will be announced for the next Playing Australia round?
    Guest Guest Thu 26th Mar, 10:40am
  • Australia Council suspended grant rounds for Independent artists: how does an independent artist apply for a grant to continue making new work if they have been suspended? what will the new grants look like?
    Thu 26th Mar, 12:11am
  • Australia Council 4 year funding organisation round: will all who applied be given partial funding, or will the successful 90 only get exactly what they applied for?
