The chaos in the Acting Chief Minister’s office continues with an “announcement” headlined “OVER 50 ARTS PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING” which doesn’t actually include the recipients.
Acting Minister for the Arts, Katy Gallagher, today announced the successful applicants to the 2011 ACT Arts Fund’s Project Funding and Communities Working With Artists Funding categories.
“This is critical support for the arts and I am delighted to be able to announce funding for activity across the full spectrum of arts practice in the ACT,” Ms Gallagher said.
“An investment into projects at the grass roots is so important to the continuation of the ACT’s vibrant and diverse arts sector, and ensures the community can access and participate in the arts,” she said.
Almost $700,000 will be shared amongst over 50 individuals and groups for projects to be delivered in 2011.
Shame we can announce the winners without, oh I dunno, announcing the winners. But it’s nice to know there are winners.
UPDATE: Readers will be thrilled to learn that having filed in after the weekend, had their morning catchup and a coffee, the artsACT staff have updated their website to… wait for it… link to Katy’s original media release.
Not exactly providing a lot of extra detail.
Further Update: The list is finally available!
