Cultural grants connect Australian creativity with the world - media releases - Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

A number of major Australian arts and cultural projects will tour Asia, Europe and the Americas with the support of this year's Australia International Cultural Council grants program. The Department's cultural diplomacy grants scheme for 2014-15 will support a range of activities to strengthen our creative economy's links to our region and the world, increase our cultural exports and promote Australia as a culturally vibrant country. Highlights include `Saltwater Country', a major exhibition by contemporary Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, a tour of France and the United Kingdom by the Belvoir St Theatre, a Tasmania-Indonesia Dance Exchange program for West Sumatran youth, and the Australian Dance Theatre's Latin American tour.
