Young People and the Arts Quick Response Fund 2008

The Young People and the Arts Quick Response Panel meets once a month to assess applications for activities that occur outside normal funding rounds. The Quick Response Program allows young people to respond to out-of-round opportunities where the time frame is out of their control. This could include invitations to participate in festivals or national and international residencies. It also supports activities that which aim to capitalize on existing momentum, which would be lost if immediate funding were not received.
