  life of communities and access to information
  new role falling to librarians

  exhibitions
• The librarian can (and does) partner other arts
  and cultural workers to access grants and to
  facilitate arts and cultural outcomes for
  individuals and the community

ACTIVITIES NOT FUNDED BY ARTS QUEENSLAND

• Amateur activities
• Funding raising events or charities.
• Projects in which arts and cultural workers will
  be paid less than award/industry rates.
• Academic research and academic coursework.
• Artistic competitions.
• Projects that involve Aboriginal or Torres Strait
  Islander communities or require access to sacred
  or secret sites, where there the support of the
  community elders or traditional custodians of the
  site is not adequately demonstrated.
• Projects dealing with cultural diversity where
  thorough understanding of relevant cultural
  issues and consultation with recognised cultural
  elders is not adequately demonstrated.
• Projects that involve young people where thorough
  understanding of the relevant youth issues and
  the support of young people is not adequately
• demonstrated.
