RADF objectives are to support arts and cultural activities that:
- Provide public value for Queensland communities;
- Build local cultural capacity, cultural innovation and community pride; and
- Deliver Queensland Government's objectives for the community.
Local priorities are identified through community consultation, including the Arts and Culture Survey.
Special Priority – Cooktown 2020 projects:
- Cooktown 2020 capacity building and events support
- Supporting Indigenous Arts and culture
- Celebrating local heritage
- Showcasing local artists - visual, theatre and musical
