Restart Micro Grants Announced
From the 70+ applications received for the Micro Grant and Top Spots funding rounds $75,000 has been awarded to 27 projects right across the region.
An overwhelming response with so many inspiring and amazing projects. STA are delighted that the Restart funds enabled so many of the projects to be funded.
Thank you to all the applicants for submitting proposals and for making the panel’s decisions so difficult in both the first and second rounds of both program. The successful applications scored highly by the arts professionals who formed our independent assessment teams.
The 27 funded projects and activities will contribute to the employment of arts workers and creatives, largely focused on the development of new work, community engagement and restarting the arts and cultural life of the Southern Tablelands and Highlands region.
