Applications now open!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Horizon Festival, supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), is calling for submissions from established Sunshine Coast-based artists to present new or existing works as part of our 2022 Homegrown program. <\/p>\n

Through Homegrown: For The People we are seeking projects that foster a sense of connection and belonging for Sunshine Coast residents and have a positive impact on our community. Artists are encouraged to consider presentation in public space\/s and the project should see the artist\/s experimenting and pushing the boundaries of their creative practice, engaging deeply with residents in the creation and\/or delivery of the project.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to hear from artists working across visual arts, dance, theatre, music and interdisciplinary artforms, with proposals for works to be presented during Horizon Festival 2022 (26 Aug \u2013 4 Sep 2022).<\/p>\n

Applying artists can propose collaborations with artists from outside of the local region, including interstate and international, if this is critical to the project and feasible within budget and travel conditions.<\/p>\n

A total of three (3) projects or works will be selected and presented as part of Horizon Festival 2022, with successful applicants receiving mentorship from an inspirational artist of the applicant\u2019s choice, selected in consultation with Horizon Festival.<\/p>\n

Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our intention is to bring audiences together for the Homegrown presentations, however artists must be flexible in the delivery of the events and work with Horizon Festival to meet any COVID-19 restrictions on events at the time of delivery.<\/p>\n

The project, activity or experience can occur at any time during the 2022 Horizon Festival (26 Aug \u2013 4 Sep). It can be a one-off event or presented more than once over the course of the Festival (e.g. every day at the same time).  <\/p>\n

Funds + Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants can apply for up to $12,000 AUD per project. The amount requested must include all fees, materials, production costs and additional expenses. The Festival has a small budget to support the artist with project  delivery and will be discussed should your application be successful.<\/p>\n
