Event showcases local creative achievements

This showcase celebrates the locally driven arts, cultural and heritage programs supported by RADF during the 2022/2023 program.

The showcase launch will be held in the Jubilee Community Centre from 5pm to 7pm on Friday, March 8.

It will feature works and project displays by Jan Ward, International Men’s Day Mackay, Lanna Mack and several others.

RADF recipient and performer Georgina Baira will provide musical entertainment.

Community Services Director Janine McKay said the event wasn’t just a demonstration of talent – it was an amazing networking opportunity and a great chance to learn more about RADF.

“RADF is delivered as a partnership between the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Mackay Regional Council,” Ms McKay said.

“A community funding pool is offered annually over three rounds, with more than $200,000 in total available to support the arts in our region,” she said.

“On top of the financial support, the RADF provides experienced mentors and promotional opportunities to successful applicants.”

The showcase launch is free to attend and open to all; however attendees are asked to RSVP online on the Eventbrite page or by calling the Arts Development Team on 49619554.

The RADF Showcase exhibition will remain open to the public until March 27 in the Jubilee Community Centre Foyer.
