Regional Partnerships Funding Recipients Announced: 03.10.2011
Premier and Minister for the Arts Ted Baillieu recently announced a $3.58 million investment in regional arts through the Victorian Coalition Government’s new Regional Partnerships program.
The new program features ‘longer-term funding agreements to enable better planning by venues and the ability to support specific projects or activities that may be beyond the scope of standard programs’.
The program reaches all council-owned arts venues in regional Victoria – 20 art galleries, 12 performing arts centres and seven multi-venue performing arts programs.
“The arts are vital to the life and economy of regional Victoria, securing jobs, attracting tourists, stimulating local businesses and bringing people from all walks of life together,” Mr Baillieu said.
