NSW ARTISTS INVITED TO APPLY FOR FOUR NEW FELLOWSHIPS

Four new Fellowship programs will give five successful recipients the opportunity to grow their careers in the arts and cultural sectors.

The NSW Government’s arts and policy funding body, Create NSW, has partnered with eminent arts organisations to deliver the programs at a total investment of $150,000.

Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said: “We are committed to fostering world-class arts and facilitating the creation of new cultural works across various artforms, including Aboriginal cultural and artistic practices.

“The arts industry boosts our state’s economy and is integral to the enrichment of our lives and social wellbeing."

The four Fellowship programs include:

• The Aboriginal Curator Placement (Emerging), which will offer two early-career Aboriginal curators the opportunity to deepen their experience through a placement at the Art Gallery of NSW.
• The NSW Aboriginal Creative Fellowship, which will provide an opportunity for an Aboriginal artist, knowledge holder or creative practitioner to undertake creative research that will work towards a presentation at the State Library of NSW.
• The Conductor: Orchestral Conducting Fellowship, which will support the emerging and early career professional practice of an orchestral conductor through a program with Sydney Youth Orchestra.
• The NSW Musical Theatre Fellowship, which will offer a composer, musical director and/or creative team the opportunity to research and develop a new work of musical theatre with the support of Hayes Theatre Co.

Applications are open until 5pm AEDT on Monday 1 March 2021. Find out more information and apply at www.create.nsw.gov.au.
