Enabling artists to rebuild after natural disaster
In June 2021, extreme weather wreaked havoc with catastrophic rain and wind damage in Gippsland and the Yarra Ranges. With an HMSTrust Response & Recovery grant, Regional Arts Victoria was able to offer quick turn-around support for artists who, already suffering from the impacts of COVID19 on their ability to practice and earn an income, were further impacted by the natural disaster.

The use of the arts as a recovery tool following natural disaster such as fire and flood is well documented. For artists and arts organisations living in the affected areas, it is important that they are supported to help their community recover.
