20 / 12 / 2011

 

Museums & Galleries (M&G NSW) is delighted to announce ten recipients of the 2012 Incoming Touring Exhibition Grant (ITEG) with funds totalling $50,000.

 

The ITEG scheme provides financial assistance to public galleries, arts, craft and design centres throughout NSW for costs associated with the presentation of touring exhibitions and related public programs. Funded by Arts NSW and managed by M&G NSW, the ITEG Grant program aims to increase the access of high quality, innovative and contemporary art, design, craft and ideas for rural and regional communities across NSW. In the 2012 grant round:

 

  • The funds will support the tour of a diverse selection of exhibitions highlighting a broad range of artistic contemporary practices including performance, installation, textiles, portraiture, ceramics, indigenous sculpture, photography and new media.
  • These exhibitions will travel to audiences across 10 local government areas in 8 regions of NSW. 
  • Funds will be used to assist with costs of travel, presentation, or public and educational programs for the local audiences of these regional communities.

 

M&G NSW CEO, Michael Rolfe  congratulates all of the organisations who have been awarded funding for 2012 touring exhibitions, ‘With such a competitive round of applications it was inevitable that the final selection would enable a strong and innovative range of exhibitions to tour regional NSW in 2012,’ he said. ‘M&G NSW cares about the programming capacity of regional galleries and these grants go towards ensuring their continued growth and relevance within communities’.
