Who Can Apply?

New Light calls for applications from First Nations artists nation-wide, seeking to commission a selection of artists or groups to produce experimental moving-image works with a duration of up to one minute. Artists with video production skills are encouraged to apply to produce new, quality content, to be presented on Adelaide Festival Centre’s outdoor screens. The resulting work must be suitable for public display.

We encourage artists and groups at any stage of their artistic practice to apply (emerging, mid-career, and established).

Successful artists/artist groups will receive a fee of $2,000 (ex. gst) to produce the work, inclusive of artist fees, production costs, and materials. All copyright will remain with the artist.

The final artworks will be mapped specifically to the outdoor screens by a professional production company.
