The irony of this is that while so many content creators are doing it tough, we have turned to arts and culture to entertain us while we are at home.

This week the Regional Arts Fund (RAF) opened with an extra $10 million to support our creative sector when it needs it most.

Southern Tablelands Arts are here to support our communities towards realising high level submissions into this competitive funding process.

The objectives of the fund are to support and promote participation in, and access to, Australia's arts and culture in regional and remote Australia.
