The Independent Arts Foundation (IAF) is a non-profit membership organisation, established in 1991. The IAF’s role is to support the development of the arts in South Australia, particularly young, emerging artists, writers, actors, performers and musicians.
The Independent Arts Foundation is a significant supporter of arts in South Australia and a distinguished arts body in its own right
It raises funds and distributes them, choosing causes which are fresh and often those which may not otherwise achieve financial support.
