Success across the Riverina in the Regional Arts Fund
Riverina creatives continue to do incredible work, and featured heavily in the latest round of successful recipients of Regional Arts Fund (RAF) grants.
Out of the fifteen successfully funded projects, four creative organisations in our region received funding for innovative projects that will have a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of the Riverina and beyond. This result is a testament to the quality and skills in our region, and we are incredibly proud of our local creative commmunity.
We also celebrate the Riverina’s Jhi Rayner, the only NSW recipient of the RAF Fellowship’s ‘First Timer Creative and Professional Development’ Category. Congratulations Jhi!
