Bermagui’s Four Winds Festival, the Junction Arts Festival in Launceston, and the Denmark Festival of Voice in Western Australia are among 18 events to have shared more than $750,000 in project funding from the Ministry for the Arts.
The projects – which include the Indigenous-focused Boomerang Festival at Byron Bay Bluesfest; the opening ceremony of Artlands Festival 2016; and Oceanarium, a large scale multi-sensory art installation at the Fun4Kids Festival in Warnambool – have been funded through the Festivals Australia program, which assists people living in regional and remote Australia to participate in or attend an arts-driven experience at a festival or community celebration.
