Creative Cuts - Empowering local artists

The Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation (SCAF) is delighted to announce that applications are now open for their annual ‘Gifted’ program.

Six local artists will receive $5000 through this wonderful opportunity. This year’s recipients will demonstrate exceptional talent and dedication to their craft, and will receive funding to support the production of new work, professional development, or showcasing their talents. 

The Gifted program, established in 2020 with a generous donation from the De Deyne family, is made possible by the support of donors and Patrons who believe in the power of the arts to enrich our community. 

The Foundation is excited to introduce its new annual scholarship program, and this year, dance has been selected as the featured art form. The $5,000 scholarship will provide a deserving dance student or artist with invaluable support to further their training and career aspirations. 

“We are incredibly proud to support the creative endeavours of our local artists,” said Jennifer Radbourne, Chair of the Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation. “The Gifted program and the dance scholarship are tangible examples of our commitment to nurturing talent and inspiring the community through  the arts.”
