Kirk Robson Theology and the Arts Memorial Fund

Describe the primary art form/s you will engage in the project

Describe the community with which the project will engage. Who will be involved and who is the intended audience? How might you engage participants in planning and managing the project? How will you engage culturally and linguistically diverse people in the community, or differently abled people?

Connecting community, church and Country will ideally engage local indigenous representation. How will you consult with elders and representatives and invite participation of indigenous people in the management and artistic elements of the project?

What need is this project responding to? How will the artwork or study have practical application for church and community? What plans do you have for public presentation of the work, or for publication?

Do your chosen art processes reflect the interests and preferences of the community? How will participation in art making respond to demonstrated needs of the community? How might artists be extended and challenged by engagement with the community?

Who else is involved in managing and supporting the project? Do you have offers of “in-kind” support? Please provide documentation as evidence.

In what ways will the project engage in theological reflection and a genuine conversation with Christian faith? Do the applicants and partners have a commitment to the ethos of the Uniting Church in Australia?

How will you evaluate the effectiveness of the project? How will you gather feedback and present the community’s response?
