About this category

The purpose of this category is to support artists investigating new artistic practice through interdisciplinary and hybrid arts. This category primarily supports the following activities:

research and development
creative development
production.

Projects may propose one or more of the components mentioned above. Presentation of works may be included within the proposal.

In this funding round the inter-arts office encourages applicantions from artists exploring participatory experiences for audiences through interdisciplinary or hybrid arts such as:

investing the audience with an element of creative agency in a work and so blurring the lines between ‘creator’ and ‘viewer’
using audience interaction to help generate the artistic experience or to materially create elements of the work
using locative media to create performance or game-play involving audiences in public environments.

If you believe your project may be eligible for support through inter-arts projects, please contact inter-arts office staff to discuss your proposal.

A project can span more than 12 months.
