Australia Council | Geeks in Residence: Hosts
The Australia Council’s Geek in Residence pilot program aims to support arts organisations that need help developing their digital skills and confidence. A technically confident artist (or artistically confident technician) will be matched and placed with successful host applicants to work with that organisation over a period of up to 12 months. Successful hosts will receive up to $25,000 towards paying for the geek’s temporary placement. We encourage proposals from arts organisations who want to create a cultural shift across three core areas: audience development, artistic programming, and general IT and operational infrastructure. The Australia Council invites proposals from arts organisations that are capable of employing a temporary staff member and who can match the $25,000 funding towards the geek’s salary.
