A challenging stretch. An old work by the talented Russell Phillip❤️. It had been folded and rolled up for 30 years.

Announcing the Russell Starke Small Grant Round 2, 2022: “broadening access to the arts in country SA”

Sadly, Russell Starke passed away earlier this year. Russell was an Independent Arts Foundation member and a regular attendee at IAF functions. Russell’s daughter, Miranda and Petra, have generously donated to have an individual IAF Small Grant in Russell’s memory in 2022.

To reflect on Russell’s background in regional and rural South Australia the small grant will be targeted at “an emerging artist who comes from, or who intends to present their work in, country South Australia”.

Russell was born in Solomontown (Pt Pirie) and grew up in Whyalla and was always very mindful that South Australians in the regions did not have the same access to the arts, to theatre, and to the community of creative ideas, as those in the cities. This is something he kept in mind during his career as an art dealer, running Greenhill Galleries in North Adelaide and as an arts critic and media figure - he would do whatever he could to support and promote talented young artists who had come from the country, like him. In his final years, he performed a number of productions that he was extremely excited to take on regional tour for that same reason.

Applicants should use the existing IAF Small Grants application form at https://iafoundation.org.au/grants/.
