REGIONAL ARTS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (RAPP)
Regional Arts Organisation Artist’s Expression of Interest Summary
Submission deadline: 5pm,Wednesday 19 October 2016
The Regional Arts Partnership Program (RAPP) is aiming to tackle some of the priority issues raised by regional arts organisations and artists during consultation in 2015. RAPP is driven by your needs.
RAPP aims to connect regional organisations and artists with Western Australian service organisations in collaborative partnership groups. These collaborative partnership groupswill be resourced to co-create projects that meet the needs of the regions. At this stage, there could be any number of regional organisations, artists and service organisations within any collaborative partnership group.
This Expression of Interest (EOI) form collects your information, which Priority Areas are of greatest interest to you and why, and whether there are any service organisations with which you would like to work. A detailed Menu of Offer from each of the service organisations will be available on the Country Arts WA website from 19 September 2016.
The service organisations include:
- Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of WA (AACHWA)
- Artsource
- Art on the Move
- AusdanceWA
- Community Arts Network
- DADAA
- FORM
- Propel Youth Arts WA
- Museums Australia WA
- West Australian Music (WA)

What is aCollaborative Partnership Group Co-ordinator?
RAPP aims to fund four separate collaborative partnership groups. In the spirit of the intended regional leadership in this program, regional organisations and artist are invited to express interest in taking a leadership role in the implementation of each collaborative partnership group. The role co-ordinates the planning, management, finances and information sharing and guidesthe dialogue and decision-making in the collaboration.
The ideal coordinating organisation will have the capacity and skills to manage a group of stakeholders in the spirit of the program, with fairness and impartiality. The Collaborative PartnershipGroup Co-ordinator will lead the co-creation process, liaising with participants to design the program, co-ordinate travel and meetings, identify any training or capacity building necessary for participants, share information and experiences across the other partnership programs and prepare a program scope for assessment in July 2017. Beyond this point, the collaborative partnership group may renegotiate its co-ordination considering capabilities and resources needed in the implementation of the full two year program.
Assessment:
The first assessment meeting, on Friday 11 November 2016, will be facilitated by an independent facilitator, Karrak Consulting, and assisted by Country Arts WA. The assessment process will follow the core criteria: Collaborative Creativity, Excellence, Relevance, Impact, and Knowledge. This collaborative group will consist of representatives from service organisations and regional organisations, who have identified as potential Collaborative Partnership Group Co-ordinators.
Country Arts WA will develop a matrix of the EOIs for circulation to the assessment group, on the basis of the following points - (1) Priority Area, (2) Art Form and (3) Region/s.
The facilitators will provide impartial and independent chairing of the assessment meeting.Up to four collaborative partnerships will be identified via a process that assesses the each partnership against the criteria.
This process is collaborative decision-making and the group will be working towards consent. Consent means allthe group accept the decision and will support it, even if it is not necessarily the preferred option for some. In the event that consent cannot be reached, then the Regional Arts Development Panel of the Country Arts WA Board of Directors will make the final decision at the Board Meetingscheduled December 2016.
You will be notified of the outcomes of the assessment on Monday 14 November 2016 and full RAPP announcements will take place at the Country Arts WA Exchange in Fairbridge, Pinjarra on Wednesday 16 November 2016.
Co-creation phase
An initial funding allocation of $70,000 will be provided to each collaborative partnership group for developing relationships, the co-creation process, program scoping and identification of leveraged funding opportunities. The initial payments to the four collaborative partnership groups will total $280,000.
Further funding instalments will be decided in July 2017 once the full scoping, budgeting and co-creation of the programs has occurred. The remaining budget will be $590,780. This funding alignment will be decided in the same collaborative manner. The funding may not be divided equally, but along considerations of program scale, strength of collaborative relationships, level of leveraged funding potential, and viability. Programs will be implemented between July 2017 and July 2019.
