So it has begun…
After months of waiting and wondering I have been successful and received the Country Arts Step Out great of $10,000 for my project “Hungry Like A Wolf”.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that has been provided to me by the Australian Government and Country Art SA - “This project was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports arts in regional and remote Australia.”
As a past member of the Country Arts Grants Application Panel I know just how hard it is to get projects over the line. I certainly felt the pressure of putting together the best application possible and meeting all of the criteria. The process alone was valuable in synthesising ideas regarding my future direction. Hence in 2019 I have decided to work part time - pretty fortunate to have an understanding workplace that value the pursuit of my artistic endeavour.
Now it is all a reality and I am a little terrified…
