CREATIVE VICTORIA
The 2024 round of Music Works offers grants in two new focus areas:
- Uncovering Talent: is for applicants who have never received Creative Victoria funding, offering grants of $5,000 for projects that boost the careers of early career artists and artists from backgrounds that are currently underrepresented in the industry.
- Evolve and Export: will offer grants of between $10,000 and $20,000 to support innovative new music projects and activity that will take Victorian music to new markets for artists with a proven track record.
Both categories have dedicated streams for First Peoples and Deaf and Disabled applicants, alongside the General stream.
Applications for all streams of the program open on Thursday, 14 March 2024 and will close at 3pm on Thursday, 18 April 2024, supporting activity starting from 1 September 2024.
