Regional Arts Development Fund
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is delivered as a partnership between the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and eligible local councils across the state.
RADF promotes the role and value of arts, culture and heritage as key drivers of diverse and inclusive communities and strong regions. RADF invests in local arts and cultural priorities, as determined by local communities, across Queensland.
RADF is managed by the Arts Development Officer in partnership with the RADF Community Committee based on locally determined priorities identified through our Arts and Culture Strategy 2025-2030.
Always check the guidelines for eligibility and priorities before applying.
