Feedback from the expert peers
General feedback
The peers commended the quality of applications received to this highly competitive round.
They discussed the overall quality of the applications to the round and made the following comments:
- Applications to Arts Tasmania’s programs are assessed by multi-artform panels of artists from diverse backgrounds with applicants encouraged to:
- use plain language
- clearly outline the activity in simple terms and talk about how the grant would be used
- avoid artform specific language or jargon
- have someone proofread an application before it is submitted
- include clear evidence of any confirmed partnerships or presentation opportunities
- tell the peers why the activity was timely (why this, why now?)
- stick within the support material limits
- make sure that all links provided work and are accessible (no log in required)
- include artist CVs or bios for everyone included in the activity.
- The peers recommended that emerging artists carefully address the criteria and show how the activity would support their professional practice or a pathway to a professional career.
- Applications that included mentorships or wider skills sharing and growth for the sector were strongly supported.
- Stronger applications included budgets with:
- eligible costs
- appropriate artist wages and fees in line with industry rates
- a clear explanation of all projected expenses and income
- in-kind contributions from the applicant, partners, or supporters
- potential income to be generated from the sale of work or tickets
- information in the budget notes around unconfirmed funding and the contingencies that would be put if income was not secured.
- Artists creating work around sensitive or challenging issues were strongly encouraged to engage trained and professional staff (with appropriate wages and fees) so that participants and audience members could access professional support.
- Letters of support should:
- speak about audience or industry demand for the work and/or the development opportunity for the artist
- show the need for and importance of the opportunity for the artist and their professional development.
- Artistic support material should relate directly to the proposed activity or work to show the ability of the applicant.
