“SAFE is a way of saying thank you to Access Arts who gave us an opportunity to expand our life’s journey at a time when we needed it most. It is Marilyn’s strong creative spirit and love of art that inspired me to start SAFE and I hope that you will be able to join me in supporting this appeal”
— Peter Vance
A SAFE Grant is a one-off funding opportunity for emerging and professional artists with disability living in Queensland. It is designed to fund the costs (up to $1,000) of attending conferences, training courses, events or mentoring to help enhance an artist’s professional career.
Established in 2007 by Life Member Peter Vance, the SAFE is an acronym of ‘Sacred-Angel Arts Funding Empowerment’ – Sacred Angel after Angiosarcoma, the cancer that took Peter’s beloved wife of 44 years, Marilyn.
In 2019, CPL – Choice, Passion, Life committed to upholding the legacy of Peter and Marilyn for an additional 10 years, ensuring that the SAFE Grant will continue removing barriers and create accessible opportunities.
