Project Seed

What is Project Seed?

Project Seed, established in 2021, is a Red Hot Arts Central funding initiative open to any artist, individual or group, offering $10,000 to allow experimentation and development of a new work or project, that is to be delivered as part of the 2024 Desert Festival program.

From inception to presentation, Project Seed offers support to artists by providing funding and creative, technical, administrative and site expertise from Red Hot Arts Central Australia and Desert Festival staff and through other skill building possibilities, across a six month period commencing in early 2024.

Red Hot Arts’ Desert Festival celebrates local artists and the arts community, and supports community engagement, economic opportunities and visitation to Central Australia. The Desert Festival has a long and strong history of delivering an inclusive, vibrant and unique arts and cultural festival that is reflective of its home here in Mparntwe.
