South Side artist commissions open
by Mornington Peninsula Magazine

Calling all creatives: artist commissions for South Side 2024 are open. Frankston City Council is inviting expressions of interest in commissions for next year’s arts and cultural festival, which will run from May 10-19, and there’s up to $5000 available for each successful applicant from a pool of $20,000.

“We encourage creatives across all artistic mediums, platforms and career stages to apply,” the council said. “There are no creative restraints or parameters, so let your imagination run wild. 

“Applicants for this commission do not need to reside or work in the Frankston City municipality, and applicants can apply for either Frankston City Council’s artist project grants or the South Side festival artist commissions – not both in the same financial year.”

Next year’s festival will be the third, and the council said it was excited to start programming another dynamic series of events. Expressions of interest for artist commissions close at midnight on August 14, and guidelines can be found at www.southsidefestival.com.au/Whats-On/Expressions-of-Interest
