ArtISability: ELIGIBILITY

CURRENTLY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

(Due to our dependence on funding

to run our ArtISability Program

our eligibility criteria will change

from program to program)

Our 2014 Pilot Program is

an Ipswich City Community Program

Support through the

Regional Arts Develop Fund

In partnership with

The Ipswich City Council

Over the age of 18
Reside in the Ipswich City Region
Be a practicing visual artist
Be living with disability or mental illness
Need support to undertake skills development, study or art practice.
Have a clear understanding of your artistic goals.

If we were to apply for a community partnership RADF Grand with another council such as the Scenic Rim Council then the criteria would change to meet the funding agreement with that council. What won't change is all the artists coming into the program must be experiencing disability, chronic health issues or mental illness.

Please Note:-

Our program is designed for emerging

artists seeking to develop a professional

career. During the program each artists

own individual goals such as a production of

to produce a new visual artwork

at the completion of the program.
