                    COVID-19 Arts grants showcase

                    We’re committed to investing in the arts and supporting our city's creative community, especially when times are tough. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we're providing $2 million in grants to artists and creatives to invest in new works, and digital presentation of works and performances.

                    Take a look through the works that have been made possible through our quick response arts grants.​

                    • Minerals and Memory

                      With this project I return to lifecycle. Existence is twofold: physical and recollected:
                    • Concrete Citizens Virtual Exhibition

                      The project involved the creation of a professional website, specifically the development of an online exhibiton experience of Alex Schoelcher's most recent series, Concrete Citizens.
                    • Online Gallery and Handmade Photobook Orders

                      An online store to showcase a selection of handmade photobooks from long-term documentary photography projects. Put together from an archive of extensive photographic work across North Africa, Latin America, USA and Australasia each book is designed to complement it’s subject matter.
                    • Isolation stories

                      A portrait series of people isolating due to travel, sickness or vulnerable health, and a little chat about their experiences in isolation during the pandemic. I've found the project to be a beautiful way to connect with people safely, and share their stories to others who might be feeling alone.
                    • Suspended

                      The project responds to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing sense of movement and stillness in the city through creation of suspended watercolour paper sculptures.
