120 ways we support the arts

The Australia Council for the Arts has released details of its funding programs for 2008.

Grants are being offered in 58 categories and more than 60 initiatives are managed either directly or with partner organisations.

All Australian artists, groups and arts organisations are welcome to apply to these grant programs and many of the initiatives.

They are being offered for all major areas of arts practice – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts, community partnerships, dance, inter-arts, literature, music, theatre and visual arts.
