The projects have been funded through the Aboriginal Arts Commissioning Fund as part of the Regional Arts and Cultural Investment Program (RACIP) that was launched by the State Government in 2019.
The fund supports Aboriginal artists, producers, storytellers, arts and cultural organisations, and organisations that work with Aboriginal people to deliver projects that encourage the expression and preservation of traditional and contemporary regional Western Australian Aboriginal cultures through the development of significant and large-scale works.
Projects showcase the unique stories of Western Australian First Nations peoples and contribute important employment opportunities for regional Aboriginal artists, arts workers and communities.
The four projects have been awarded $987,100, bringing the total invested in the program to more than $1.8 million since 2019.
The following four projects were successful in the 2021-2022 funding round:
The RACIP is delivered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, with funding from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
