AddressCreative Australia
Creative Australia is the Australian Government's principal arts investment and advisory body. With artists at the heart of what we do, we invest in creative talent and stimulate the market for Australian stories to be told on a national and international scale, sharing our rich culture with the world. We do this because art and creativity define us, recording what we have been and what we might yet become. As a nation, creativity connects us and benefits us all.
Creative Futures Fund
This newly established fund is an initiative of the National Cultural Policy - Revive, to support the commissioning of new Australian artistic works of scale. Unlike our traditional grant programs, this is a new way to invest in the future of Australian arts, creating lasting connections with audiences and communities in innovative and impactful ways.
We will be providing full details about the Creative Futures Fund, including the guidelines and the application opening and closing dates by the end of May 2024.
