Artistic merit
A strong selection of works by professional, emerging and/or established contemporary artists, crafts people and designers presented in the context of an exhibition with a curatorial rationale that is innovative and well resolved and that contributes to research and interpretation of contemporary art, craft and design. Works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are encouraged.
Presentation and interpretation
The quality of the proposed research and presentation of associated publications, the ability of the public and education programs to engage new and existing audiences, and the standard of presentation for all aspects of the exhibition.
Project viability
The ability of the applicant to professionally deliver the proposed activity and achieve the described outcomes to the highest possible standard.
Creating access
The potential of the exhibition to provide access to the highest quality works of contemporary art rarely exhibited in regional areas; or engage with contemporary ideas and issues that resonate with regional audiences; or present contemporary works by regional artists; and contributes to the quality and diversity of arts programming in Victoria.
Professional standards
The ability of the applicant to manage the project comprising sound planning, organisation, fundraising and financial administration of the project and accommodate fees at no less than recommended NAVA (National Association for Visual Artists) rates, and meet Occupational Health and Safety requirements for public galleries.
