About

Artslink Queensland is the go-to regional arts organisation.

We support the artistic and cultural aspirations of regional communities.

Local Arts Councils

Our network of 50 volunteer-run Local Arts Councils (LACs)

Local Arts Councils are staffed by volunteers and arts administrators whom encourage artistic expression. They provide opportunities for participation in cultural experiences and community collaboration. We support each LAC with advice, resources and visual arts touring exhibitions. Local Arts Councils are independently incorporated bodies, affiliated to Artslink Queensland. View our special 50 Years in the Arts publication [6 MB], celebrating our Local Arts Councils.

Can't see a Local Arts Council near you? Start your own! We have developed a consultative application process to help you. Assistance is provided with all stages of your application to ensure that you have strong local support for your vision.

Download the Expression Of Interest application form here.
The application is in two parts:
1)  Complete the Expression of Interest (Part A)
2) Application Form (Part B) -  This part would be completed should it be agreed that an application be made to the Board of Artslink Queensland to form a Local Arts Council. This application form should only be completed after broad community consultation and participation in a facilitated meeting with a Artslink Queensland representative that results in the proposed LAC creating a Strategic Plan.
