Artist Grants Open - Rainbow Arts and Culture Foundation
Rainbow Arts and Culture Foundation, in collaboration with Rainbow Serpent Festival 2019 has opened its annual artist development grants program. The Artist Grants Program provides emerging and established artists an opportunity to construct manage and present new work to a large audience in a natural, outdoor environment. We encourage submissions that develop a high-quality, imaginative artistic practice; and can reach and engage with diverse audiences.
