As we progress towards the end of 2020, the novelty of our ‘new normal’ has worn thin. The COVID-19 health pandemic has affected arts practitioners, professionals, organisations, communities, governments and individuals across the globe. Sadly, in August we announced that our third round of funding for 2020 was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic's extenuating impacts on international travel. With a ban on overseas travel in place and the continuing escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic internationally, we have found that nearly all applicants are unable to plan or confirm their overseas development projects.
