Regional Arts Australia: 2026 National Arts Fellowship

The National Regional Arts Fellowship Program is a strategic project supported by the Regional Arts Fund and delivered by Regional Arts Australia. Fellowships provide guaranteed income for regional artists and arts workers to develop work, skills, networks, or research. In 2026, they are seeking Fellowship proposals with a focus on economic, cultural and/or environmental sustainability.

Eight fellowships will be awarded in 2026 to Australian artists with a total funding pool of $140,000. At least fifty percent of the fellowships provided will be targeted to cohorts that Regional Arts Australia has identified as being under-funded or under-represented through the Regional Arts Fund competitive grants program.
