GAL 2024

The Shows on the Road program supports a network of regional presenter groups in their efforts to present high quality, professional performances in their towns.

Through the provision of subsidised touring performances Country Arts SA supports local communities to deliver performing arts activities in their town with little or no financial risk to the group. This program aims to increase access to the arts through the delivery of professional performing arts to smaller country centres.

Country Arts SA provides some guarantee against loss assistance to registered Presenter Groups who are committed to presenting a performance in their community. Groups interested in applying to participate in the program should first discuss their interest with Country Arts SA's Creative Communities Programmer.

1. Who can apply: Only South Australian Presenter Groups can apply. Become a Presenter Group with Country Arts SA's Shows On The Road program.
2. How much can we apply for: Each application is based on individual merit and circumstances – depending on project costs, audience numbers and performance suitability.
3. Timeline: Applications must be received no later than 4 weeks prior to the performance date.
4. Insurance: If your project involves the public in any way, as creative participants, workshop participants or audience members, you are liable for any claims of personal injury or property damage that a third party may make as a result of these activities. In order to protect yourself and/or your organisation, you MUST have Public Liability Insurance (PLI). The level of insurance you will need will be dictated by the size of your event. Sometimes, funding or project delivery partners will require you to have a certain level. You may also need other forms of insurance to cover you and your members.

5. To claim Guarantee Against Loss funds, you are required to submit a detailed acquittal, 4 weeks from the completion of the performance.
