A huge congratulations to the Orange-based weaver and fibre artist Lanny Mackenzie who has been invited to be part of international group of weavers at the upcoming International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival, 26 May to 5 June 2025 in Chengdu China.
Lanny has secured a Quick Response Grant from the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund (via Regional Arts NSW) to attend.
Quick Response Grants are available on a monthly basis from February to November, with all applications being competitively assessed at the end of each month. The grant amounts vary, with individuals able to apply for up to $3000 and organisations up to $5000, though there is no minimum grant amount.
“Thanks to Mr Andrzej Pawlak for inviting me to represent Australia,” Lanny said, “I’m so proud to be able to attend this festival and showcase the Australian weaving to the world.”
