(1) The program is not run by the ACT Government, but by the ARTS Factory of the Australian Catholic University.

In 2006, the ARTS Factory will receive $14 751 to run a program entitled The Three C’s (Culture, Communication and Connectedness), building on the success of the previous three programs.
