Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)

What is the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)

The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between state and local government. 

Its key stakeholders are Arts Queensland, local Councils, RADF Committees and regional and remote communities and their arts and cultural development in regional Queensland.

Every Council in the program is required to adopt an arts and cultural development policy, appoint the RADF liaison officer and set up a publicly elected RADF Committee.  The RADF Committee consists of local artists and cultural workers, member of cultural groups, local organizations or associations, or people active in their community, and is ratified as an advisory committee to Council.
