Regional Arts Fund Acknowledgement & Logos

The Australian Government requires that Regional Arts Fund grant recipients prominently feature visible recognition of the program's support in all materials and publications related to the grant through both the use of a logo and a statement of accreditation.

Advertising and promotional material

Notes on the logo:
The Regional Arts Fund logo, as determined by the Australian Government, must be included in a prominent place on all advertising and promotional material associated with the project (for example: brochures; flyers; posters; press advertisements; and programs).

Reproducing the logo:
Please note—minimum width of coat of arms is 20mm. An isolation zone has been established to ensure that the dignity of the logo is not jeopardised through crowding. This zone is based upon the distance between the top of the crest and the bottom of the Regional Arts Fund wording. This zone should be seen as a minimum dimension of at least 0.5mm, and it applies to every application of the logo.

In most cases the logo should be reproduced in one colour only - preferably black. However, the logo can be reversed - white on black, or white on a different dark colour - for example charcoal, navy, maroon, dark green etc. The logo should not appear as a dark colour on a dark background.

Wording:
Advertising and promotional material associated with the project should also contain the appropriate accreditation of the Regional Arts Fund in a prominent place. The text of the message is-

where Commonwealth funding only is used in the delivery of the program:

The Regional Arts Fund is an Australian Government initiative supporting the arts in regional, remote and very remote/isolated Australia.


where State or other funding is pooled with Commonwealth funding:

The Regional Arts Fund is an Australian Government initiative delivered in partnership with the [State/org name].

Media Releases

All media releases regarding the project must include an acknowledgment, for example:

The project was made possible by the Australian Government’s regional arts program, the Regional Arts Fund, which gives artists and communities throughout regional, rural, and remote Australia better access to opportunities to practice and experience the arts.

Other Promotional Contexts - It is also appropriate to acknowledge the Regional Arts Fund’s contribution to the activity in other promotional contexts, such as opening night speeches, media interviews, and journals or newsletter articles.
