Inter-Arts Projects
Closing date: 1 December 2010

Inter-Arts Project grants support artists investigating emerging artistic practice through interdisciplinary and hybrid arts.

We welcome applications from artists exploring participatory experiences such as:
live performance and/or inter-activity in networked environments
creative agency for audiences, thus blurring the lines between ‘creator’ and ‘viewer’
mixed or augmented realities that enhance public space and facilitate the interaction between diverse communities.
innovative processes for artistic collaborations that involve new partners and resources
All applicants are encouraged to contact Inter-Arts staff to discuss proposals before applying.
