Initiated in 2020, the First Nations Collaboration Grants program celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, and aims to increase indigenous participation in Adelaide Fringe.
Adelaide Fringe Director and CEO, Heather Croall, said the First Nations Collaboration Grants program received an overwhelming response in 2020.
“We are thrilled to be able to deliver the second round of this grants program to First Nations participants in 2021,” she said.
“Last year, 83 of the 1203 events in Adelaide Fringe included Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. It's imperative that Australian First Nations artists' participation in the arts continues, and we know there is a strong appetite from audiences for their work.
“We hope to build on the success of this program in 2021.”
