Intended Outcomes
It is a condition of the Grants that the following outcomes are met:
- The final Creative Work must be presented in a public forum external to the VCA within 12 months of the Grant being awarded.
- The grantees must deliver a presentation associated with the development of the Creative Work, to faculty, staff, students and/or alumni at the VCA. This could be delivered in the context of a seminar, workshop, lecture, artist talk or similar and will be arranged in consultation with VCA staff and faculty.
- Recipients are asked to contact the Fine Arts and Music Scholarships office <fineartsmusic-scholarships@unimelb.edu.au> with information about any upcoming exhibitions/events/talks related to this project for which you have received funding support. This is so that the donors can be invited to attend.
