Pulse 2013/2014
PULSE, Kultour's artistic development program, builds upon the momentum of our annual touring program whilst providing a more holistic and tailored approach to the artistic development of an artist or company over a two-year period.
Kultour has identified that outside of touring there are myriad platforms and services that support an artist’s development and we are thrilled to be able to provide these opportunities to artists who are contributing to cultural diversity in the arts in Australia. Areas where we provide support are: producing, budgeting and finance, business acumen, funding/grant making processes, marketing, audience and/or community development, touring and establishing strategic partnerships and networks. Kultour also works with artists to identify and secure opportunities to undertake artistic internships, participate in artist-in residence programs, attend conferences and arts markets and other strategic presentation platforms.

“The new policy fails to recognise artists from culturally diverse backgrounds and their right to freedom of expression in the form of art. Social inclusion is fundamental to the national creative voice and our national identity,” she said.
Ms Tipene-O’Toole said Australia is recognised as one of the most multicultural countries in the world and art and cultural engagement plays an integral role in a citizen’s participation in the community.
