Gladstone Region Councillor and RADF Chair Glenn Churchill said the long running RADF program had a proven track record of delivering quality arts and culture projects, while supporting professional and emerging artists, and cultural workers in the Gladstone region.

“RADF promotes the role and value of arts, culture and heritage as key drivers to support diversity and inclusivity,” Cr Churchill said.
