New Models New Money: A Foundation for the Artist Feasibility Study

INVITATION – A Foundation for the Artist Feasibility Study Roundtable

In June this year the Centre for Social Impact (based at UNSW) and Arts Queensland released a Discussion Paper proposing the establishment of a Foundation for the Artist – the first of its kind in Australia – to bring together new public, private and corporate funding for artists and the creation of new work. Such a Foundation would complement existing funding sources, and explore new forms of support for creative practice and innovation.

The Centre has now received funding from the Australian Government matched by State and Territory Governments and independent sources to fund a Feasibility Study into the concept. A team of arts, finance and legal consultants will work on the project over the next four months undertaking consultation with key industry stakeholders, arts and cultural organisations and individual artists and practitioners across Australia.

Consultation in New South Wales will consist of roundtable sessions for artists and key stakeholders with sessions facilitated by the managing consultant of the study, Cathy Hunt. To supplement feedback collected in the roundtable sessions, an online survey will also be distributed through Arts New South Wales.
