Regional Arts Fund Panel
The Regional Arts Fund Panel is a peer assessment panel convened to make decisions regarding funding that Country Arts WA manages in Western Australia on behalf of the Australian Government, to support the arts in regional, remote and very remote/isolated communities.
The new Regional Arts Fund program is currently under development and an assessment panel will be established once details are finalised.
