The Queensland Government supports arts and cultural festivals throughout Queensland.
Festivals are important for developing home-grown arts. They provide an opportunity for stretching the boundaries to present new productions to new audiences. Festivals also provide a vehicle to present high quality nationally and internationally acclaimed productions.

This reduces the real cost to the public of accessing quality arts and cultural experiences.
