HOMEGROWN \u2013 LOCAL ARTISTS AT THE FRONT – SUBMISSIONS CLOSED<\/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 Homegrown 2021<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Through Homegrown, <\/em>we are seeking contemporary live performance for presentation in our 2021 Festival (27 Aug \u2013 5 Sep 2021).  Homegrown<\/em> is designed to support the development and presentation of contemporary arts projects here in our region, and we invite submissions from established local artists working in visual arts, dance, theatre and music. Cross-artform or interdisciplinary proposals will also be considered.<\/p>\n

The proposed work should consider presentation in public space\/s and see the artist\/s experimenting and pushing the boundaries of their creative practice.<\/p>\n

Continuing on from a hugely successful Homegrown<\/em> series in 2020, Homegrown 2021<\/em> will again place our local artists at the front, providing a platform for sharing the stories important to the people and places of the Sunshine Coast. 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 2021.<\/p>\n

Presentation<\/strong>
\nOur intention is to bring audiences together for the Homegrown<\/em> 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 2021 Horizon Festival (27 Aug \u2013 5 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>
\nApplicants can apply for up to $9,000 AUD per project<\/strong>. The amount requested must include all fees, materials, production costs and additional expenses. Horizon Festival will hold and manage a further $1,000 per project<\/strong> as contingency to cover costs such as unforeseen production expenses or costs associated with COVID-19 adaptation.<\/p>\n

In addition to this financial investment, successful applicants will receive:<\/p>\n
