Up to $5,000 per year is available for small schools in regional and remote Queensland with 50 students or less for Artist/Teacher collaborations.*

This opportunity allows schools to work collaboratively with an experienced Flying Arts artist to plan and deliver a visual arts incursion (workshop/residency) of your selection to collaborate on an arts rich experience for students and the wider school community.

Please provide us with as much information as possible about the proposed project you would like delivered. We encourage applicants to be creative in supporting their proposal, e.g. use of images, video, etc.

EOIs will be assessed on alignment with curriculum, engagement, distance from a metropolitan centre, community benefit, creativity of the idea and ongoing impact.

There is no need to tell us the artist you want to work with as we will match you with the best person from our team.

EOIs Close 5pm, 16 March, 2020.

Submit EOI
