The new Curatorial Support Initiative grants scheme offers New South Wales regional public galleries assistance towards engaging a professional curator (emerging or established) to research and/or develop a new exhibition of contemporary visual arts, craft and design for their community.

 

The program is designed to encourage the involvement of external curators in the development of exhibitions that enhance an organisation’s artistic program, extend public engagement with contemporary artistic practice and expand the professional skills of the curators and other professionals involved.  

 

Applications that create new or extend existing partnerships within regions are strongly encouraged.

 

The 2013 Curatorial Support Initiative offers $50,000 in devolved funding from the NSW Government through Arts NSW and is managed by Museums and Galleries NSW.

The ACR Program offers the opportunity for regional public galleries to engage established artists or curators to undertake a residency activity within their community. The program is designed to provide artists or curators with the time and space to research, create and/or develop new work and consequently support innovative and adventurous contemporary art in regional New South Wales.
