Each year we give away $500 micro-grants as a modest boost to help creative projects, events, and artwork get off the ground.
This year the theme of our festival is 'the nature of home'. Our sense of home is formed early, but evolves over a lifetime. We are all made of a patchwork of memory and unconscious connections to place: scraps of colour like muted greens, soft yellows and fiery reds, or a clamour of sounds from the almighty screech of a cockatoo to a cacophony of cicadas.
This year we invite events, experiences, and encounters with the nature of home. This might be the landscapes we carry, the relationships we build or the memories we hold of nature and place. They might revolve around food, art, adventure, music, or culture. They might be about large, metaphorical homes, or the simple beauty of a pot plant and own back gardens.
In past years we have funded a 'seed dating' event, an ephemeral art workshop, a future of food event, a nature poetry slam, a bushtucker storytelling event about the lost Warki people, a dance workshop, a limestone carving workshop for kids, an instagram tree-pose and tree-planting campaign and more.
This year the micro-grants this year are generously supported by the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board, the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board, RAA, and the City of Adelaide.
Applications open 19 June
Applications close 24 July (11.59pm)
