The Ingrained Foundation is seeking Northern Rivers artists of all kinds; poets, painters, dancers, performers, writers, multidisciplinary creatives, to be a part of a Climate Action Arts Grants Program that launched on 16 February.
This new initiative is supporting artists and arts organisations to address the climate crisis through creative practice, enabling innovative projects that inspire public engagement, awareness and action on climate change.
‘Creative practices have the power to impact and help people connect emotionally to climate issues. The arts are a powerful tool to encourage collective responsibility and action,’ said Jasmin Daly, Executive Director of Ingrained Foundation.
The program offers grants of $5,000 to $20,000 to support bold, thoughtful and imaginative projects that respond to the climate crisis and engage the Northern Rivers community.
‘The foundation is looking for ideas that connect people and places, sparking curiosity and helping people to think, feel and act differently about the environmental challenges we face.’
