Regional Arts Development Fund Committee
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between Council and the Queensland Government to support the development of quality art and arts practice in regional Queensland.
Council's RADF Committee makes recommendations to Council and contributes to the on-going implementation of its RADF program. Membership of the RADF Committee is in a voluntary capacity. Members have a broad base of experience and/or expertise in arts and cultural practice.
Meetings
The RADF Committee meets twice a year to assess RADF applications. Special meetings may be convened as required.
Once the RADF Committee has reached agreement on which grant applications should be recommended and for what level of funding, the Arts and Cultural Grants Coordinator (RADF Liaison Officer) will present the recommendations to Council for ratification.
