The Northern Territory Government has awarded more than $300 000 of arts grants to foster the talent of Territory artists and ensure the arts remain an integral part of our unique lifestyle.

 

Arts Minister Gerry McCarthy congratulated the successful applicants who have received funding for their community based arts programs.

 

“We have a thriving arts sector in the Territory and the Government is continuing to support the development of the arts across the Territory,” said Mr McCarthy.

 

“The 27 projects funded by the Territory and Australian Governments range from songwriter retreats and a Cabaret Boot Camp to an exhibition of the Craft Council of the Northern Territory.

 

“Each of these unique projects adds to the great Territory lifestyle and fosters the artistic talents of young Territorians.

 

“Importantly the arts and projects like these also preserve our unique and colourful past and remind other Australians what makes the Territory such a special place.

 

“The funding decisions for the arts grants are made by the Arts Grant Board which consists of artists and arts workers across a variety of genres.

 

“An indication of the strength of the Territory arts industry is the excellent quality of all applications to the Arts Grant Board.

 

“I encourage all Territorians to get involved in arts projects across the Territory and support this important industry within our community.”
