Music Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, on whose unceded land we advocate, support and celebrate on. We pay our deep respects to Elders past and present, and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and communities. We acknowledge them as the first artists, the first musicians, and the first creators of culture. We deeply respect the role that music and songlines play in the continuation of their culture for the past 60,000+ years.
As we are all coming out of lockdown and heading into the holidays, it's tough to balance life and stay afloat. Jumping straight back into gigging, work, and socialising can be exhausting. If you are a musician, performing arts or music industry worker, the Support Act COVID-19 Crisis Relief Grants are still available, but applications must be in by December 3rd to be processed before Christmas.
Music Victoria understands that the application process can be confusing, so we are partnering with Support Act and Songlines to host an info session to assist you with the application process. Kiwat Kennell will be joined by Support Act’s First Nations Community Engagement/Social Worker Cerisa Grant and Songlines Co-CEO Kiernan Ironfield.
The current round of funding is almost running out, so be sure to tune in and ask any questions you may have before applying.
