Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)














Welcome to the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) program.
RADF is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Somerset Regional Council
to support local arts and culture in Regional Queensland.
RADF supports the delivery of outcomes that meet the priority areas of the ‘Arts for all Queenslanders’ strategy: Across Queensland, 61 Councils participate in RADF. The program will operate differently in each council region as each council responds to locally identified needs and priorities.
