The Australia Council this week announced grants of $6.2 million that will support 201 project and development grants for individuals, groups and small to medium arts organisations, with a strong trend of First Nations arts.
Among the recipients are Melbourne-based hip hop, soul and R&B artist Mojo Juju, to take part in a European tour with the Hilltop Hoods; First Nations curator Freja Carmichael, for her latest project building on her success as the inaugural recipient of the emerging First Nations curator award and Four Winds Festival, to commission songs for young people from First Nations composer Brenda Gifford.
