Australian artists, creatives and cultural leaders. Specific outcomes for the Fellowships are not required. </p> <p>In 2024, The Ian Potter Cultural Trust joins the Sidney Myer Fund in appointing Creative Fellows. The Trust will award two Ian Potter Creative Fellowships annually, with the same value, criteria and structure as the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships.</p> <p>The two criteria used to select Fellows are: <em>outstanding talent</em> and <em>exceptional courage</em>. Specifically, this talent and courage relates to the creative practice of the Fellows and not to cases of personal hardship.</p> <p>Nominations are welcome for artists, creators and cultural leaders across the entire spectrum of the arts and humanities. Applicants to the program may not self-nominate and must include two referees who are not the nominator.</p> <p>The Fellowships are intended for individuals in their ‘early mid-career’ – to be eligible, nominees must be at least seven years into their creative practice. They are also intended for those who will primarily be resident in Australia for the two years of their Fellowship.<br></p> <p>In the 2024 round, there are eight Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships and two Ian Potter Creative Fellowships on offer. With a total annual budget of $2 million, all ten Fellowships will be selected from the same pool of nominations, to ensure nominators only need to make one submission. </p> <p>Nominations for the 2024 Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships and Ian Potter Creative Fellowships closed on Sunday 25 August and are currently being assessed. Recipients will be announced in early 2025.<br></p> </div></div> </div> </div> <div id="selection-process" class="fellowships-selection-process p-5-10-percent"> <div class="container"> <h3 class="title">Application & Selection Process</h3> <p>To qualify for a Creative Fellowship, nominees must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident nominated by another individual (who is not a member of their family).</p> <p>Nominations are reviewed by a national panel of industry advisors with consideration to two criteria: <em>outstanding talent</em> and <em>exceptional courage</em>. Nominations that are recommended by the industry advisory panel form the basis of a shortlist from which Sidney Myer Fund’s Arts & Culture Committee then recommends recipients to the boards of The Ian Potter Cultural Trust and Sidney Myer Fund.<br></p> </div> </div> <div id="recent-awardees" class="fellowships-recent-awardees p-5-10-percent"> <div class="container"> <h3 class="title">Recent Awardees</h3> <h4 class="sub-title">2023 Sidney Myer Creative Fellows</h4> <p>The Sidney Myer Creative Fellowships are awarded by the Trustees of Sidney Myer Fund on the recommendation of its Arts & Culture Committee.

Generally speaking, and for the purposes of this program, artistic or creative practice follows formal training. Where a nominee does not have formal training, the beginning of their practice is commonly marked by a significant recognition of the artist’s work and the artist’s vocational commitment to ongoing practice.<br></p> <p data-children-count="0">An artist who has exercised a number of roles within an art form is deemed to have a continuous practice within that art form. That is, a nominee whose art form is the visual arts, and whose post-tertiary career began in art making and subsequently shifted to art curation will be regarded as having a continuous practice in the visual arts. In calculating their years of practice, the nominee should combine these two periods.</p> <p data-children-count="0">Similarly, an artist whose career commenced as an actor and who subsequently shifted their focus exclusively to stage direction would be regarded as having a continuous theatre practice. A dancer who has moved into choreography will be regarded as having a continuous dance practice.</p> <p data-children-count="0">The Fellowships recognise that many artists (with or without training in traditionally recognised art forms) are working in new territories less clearly defined as a single arts practice. We welcome nominations for these artists provided they include a detailed biographic narrative clearly delineating the nature and duration of the practice for which they are being nominated.</p> </div> </div> </div><div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading_what_if_there_has_been_a_break_in_the_nominee’s_artistic_or_cultural_practice"> <h5 class="mb-0"> <div class="faqs-block-header" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#what_if_there_has_been_a_break_in_the_nominee’s_artistic_or_cultural_practice" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="what_if_there_has_been_a_break_in_the_nominee’s_artistic_or_cultural_practice"> What if there has been a break in the nominee’s artistic or cultural practice? </div> </h5> </div> <div id="what_if_there_has_been_a_break_in_the_nominee’s_artistic_or_cultural_practice" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="heading_what_if_there_has_been_a_break_in_the_nominee’s_artistic_or_cultural_practice" data-parent="#accordion"> <div class="card-body"> <p>Artists’ careers are not always linear, and we recognise that there may be periods of time when the nominee has withdrawn from artistic practice.</p> <p>A nominee may have taken a significant break from their artistic practice to care for children or others. This period of time should be taken into account when calculating their years of practice. For example, if a musician worked for four years, then took two years off to help raise a child, then returned to working as a musician for two more years before being nominated, their overall years of practice would be six (not eight).<br></p> <p>Should an artist have more than one arts practice, then this will also be taken into consideration. For instance, an individual may have practiced as a fine arts painter for three years, then worked as a production designer or props maker for ten years, then returned to their visual arts practice as a curator for the following three years. The period of continuous practice in the artform for which the nominee is being nominated (the visual arts) is the cumulative total of six years, being three (painting) plus three (curation) over a sixteen-year period.</p> </div> </div> </div><div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading_does_the_nominee_have_to_produce_an_artwork_at_the_end_of_the_fellowship"> <h5 class="mb-0"> <div class="faqs-block-header" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#does_the_nominee_have_to_produce_an_artwork_at_the_end_of_the_fellowship" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="does_the_nominee_have_to_produce_an_artwork_at_the_end_of_the_fellowship"> Does the nominee have to produce an artwork at the end of the Fellowship? </div> </h5> </div> <div id="does_the_nominee_have_to_produce_an_artwork_at_the_end_of_the_fellowship" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="heading_does_the_nominee_have_to_produce_an_artwork_at_the_end_of_the_fellowship" data-parent="#accordion"> <div class="card-body"> <p>The Fellowship grant is untied.
