Sidney Myer Fund is calling artists, creators and cultural leaders across the entire spectrum of the visual, performing, interdisciplinary, new media and literary arts, as well as the humanities, to apply for Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships.
The Fellowships are intended for individuals in their ‘early mid-career’ – to be eligible, nominees must be at least seven years into their creative practice. They are also intended for those who will primarily be resident in Australia for the two years of their Fellowship.
Funding Information
- Fellows will receive their grants in tax-free yearly instalments of $100,000.
Who can apply?
- Individuals must be nominated by a third party for a Fellowship.
- Fellows must be Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents of Australia.
- Nominations are reviewed by a national panel of industry advisors with consideration to two criteria: outstanding talent and exceptional courage. Nominations that are recommended by the industry advisory panel form the basis of a shortlist from which Sidney Myer Fund’s Arts & Culture Committee then recommends recipients to the boards of The Ian Potter Cultural Trust and Sidney Myer Fund.
Who will be the industry advisor?
- Industry advisors are accomplished and respected arts and cultural leaders from around the country – the membership of this group is continually evolving and seeks to represent a diverse and representative array of informed perspectives. The identities of industry advisors are only made public at the conclusion of each year’s selection process.
