RADF Grants up for Grabs for Arts Groups and Individuals

Council is calling for grant applications for funding from the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) to add fun and interaction to the Queensland Day Street Party.

Applications are open to groups and individuals who have a workshop that they would like to offer at Council’s Queensland Day - Celebrating Faces and Places of Charters Towers Street Party on Sunday, June 5, 2022 explains Councillor Graham Lohmann Chair of the RADF Committee.

“Workshops could be based around music, dance, literature, theatre, visual art or even digital art … the possibilities are endless, and I really want to encourage individuals and community groups to submit their ideas and requests for funding while they still can. If they want to be involved and are not sure how, I encourage them to contact Council to discuss possibilities” says Cr Lohmann.

Council’s Queensland Day - Celebrating Faces and Places of Charters Towers Street Party will be held in Mosman Street from 3-8pm with workshops, fun and food brought together to celebrate 150 years since the declaration of the goldfields explained Cr Lohmann.

“The Charters Towers Regional Council is hosting and supporting a wide variety of events as part of the 150 year celebrations, a number of these events are funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) in partnership with the Queensland Government and Charters Towers Regional Council”, he said.

Currently, RADF has approved funding for the following 150 year celebrations activities:
