OurFutures – Cartoonist Opportunity
The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use at The University of Sydney is looking for a cartoon illustrator to work on a new module that will form part of our suite of evidence-based prevention education programs for secondary school students, called OurFutures.
Each module is structured as 4 to 6 lessons, with the main component of each lesson being interactive cartoon storyboards which follow characters around the same age as the target students, allowing us to deliver peer-led messages.
If you are interested please respond with a quote and sample artwork to Miriam.delailomaloma@sydney.edu.au

Cultural Activation Seed Grants program is now open to artists and organisations, with applications closing 4 April 2022. The grants will make funding available to successful eligible applicants including individual artists, arts and cultural groups or arts organisations (for profit or not for profit). For more information, please visit: Cultural Activation Seed Grant » Camden Council (nsw.gov.au)
Available grants:
Creation of New Work
Up to $3,000 (excl. GST)
To support the professional development of individual artists, art and cultural groups or arts organisations (for profit or not for profit) within the Macarthur Region and assist in the creation and presentation of a new work that can be exhibited, published, presented, or performed locally, interstate or internationally. Applicants are required to demonstrate how this support will be recognized through marketing, such as the use of Camden Council’s logo or mention of support.
Creative Programming
Up to $3,000 (excl. GST)
To provide opportunities for local emerging or established artists, curators, or creatives to develop, establish and deliver new and innovative arts or cultural programs within the Camden LGA. Outcomes of this grant include further professional development of successful applicants, as well as increasing community engagement within the arts. *Please note that it is not a requirement to be an artist living within the Camden LGA for this particular grant. The preference is that the work will connect with Camden in terms of delivery, exhibition or engagement.
Rehome Support for Cultural Groups
Up to $2,000 (excl. GST)
Providing grants to assist not for profit cultural groups in securing new spaces for regular engagement, meetings or rehearsals, as a means to re-establish themselves post Covid-19.
The Bouddi Foundation for the Arts (BFA), chaired by renowned Shakespearean actor, John Bell, announces the opening of the 2022 Grant Year, with applications welcomed from any young (15-30 year old) artist (any genre) connected to the Central Coast.
Grants of up to $5000 will be made to outstanding young artists, based on the quality of their online application, their audition (later in the year), and their need.
Given the challenges artists in all genres have faced over the past two years, BFA is keen to encourage not only talented artists still at school but also those older artists who may be studying at, or have completed their studies at, tertiary institutions, academies, conservatoriums, etc.
Applications can be made on our website between now and 29 May 2022: www.bouddiarts.org.au
