Funding update
As some of you may know we had applied to the Australia Korea Foundation for funds to cover the costs of getting the Melbourne based artists to Seoul. We requested around AUD$15,000, but were only offered AUD$5000.
Although a small amount it was enough to cover airfares for at least 2-3 of us. We were keen to make use of this fund, but it seemed difficult to raise any additional support. Regrettably, last week I had to let this funding go as it was clear there was no scope to utilise this money within the context of the original project in Seoul.
Art Center Nabi have a full years schedule and additional funds appeared nonexistent, at least not the funds we would need to cover accommodation, freight and fees.
So, in terms of funding we are back at square one. I will have to reapply to the AKF, but this won't be possible without a schedule and right now it seems 2006 is out.
