Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) provides funding for projects that promote and develop arts, culture and heritage in the Townsville Region.
It is delivered as a partnership between the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Townsville City Council to support local talent, unite communities and celebrate the arts 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.
