Since 1993, over 1200 individual Australian artists have received grants from The Ian Potter Cultural Trust to support their professional and artistic development.  This year marks 20 years since the Trust gave its first grant and they are trying to reconnect with as many past grant recipients as possible.

In celebration of the collective contribution these artists have made to Australia’s cultural life, The Ian Potter Cultural Trust is planning a gala event in October, and have other commemorations planned during the year.  To ensure as many past grantees as possible are included, the Trust has published a list of the artists they have lost contact with, in the hope that the artist - or someone who knows them – will make the connection.

An alphabetical list of ‘lost’ grantees is available on their website at www.ianpotterculturaltrust.org.au/missing-grantees

If you have ever received a Cultural Trust grant, please take a look (it is a bit of a who’s who of Australian artists).  If your name appears on the list, please complete the email contact form on the page to ensure you’re on the invitation list!

Cultural Trust grantees who do not appear on the ‘lost’ list can assume their contact details are current.
