New work initiative - inter-arts

The Australia Council's inter-arts office will offer a one-off funding initiative for the creation of new interdisciplinary artworks.

Closing date: 31 March 2008

About the initiative

The purpose of this initiative is to provide funding support for individual artists and groups to mount a public performance or exhibition of new work created through interdisciplinary or hybrid arts processes. 

The inter-arts office encourages applications from individuals and groups producing interdisciplinary or hybrid works that interrogate and challenge traditional relationships between artwork, audience and artist.

Please note this initiative aims to support the production of new work that has not previously had a public outcome.

Eligibility

This initiative is open to individuals and groups of artists only. To be eligible, you must meet the general eligibility requirements.

Selection criteria

Applications must demonstrate:

• artistic merit of the proposal in the context of interdisciplinary and hybrid arts
• effective hybrid or interdisciplinary approach to the creative process and outcome
• calibre of the artists and other professionals on the project team
• evidence that the proposal is well planned, viable and has appropriate support from project partners and/or other sources.

How to apply

Applicants must submit the required support material and an application form.

Please note: proposals to this initiative do not count as part of the two applications you may submit to grant catagories in calendar year 2008.
