Contemporary Music Fund

The Contemporary Music Fund (CMF) assists homegrown contemporary music artists with projects that enable them to produce and promote their work, along with building links nationally and internationally.

The State Government has extended its commitment to the Contemporary Music Fund with an additional $3 million over 4 years through to 2025. This is welcomed support for WA’s contemporary music industry and will aid its recovery from the effects of COVID-19.

The CMF’s objectives are to:

• capitalise on available opportunities for the contemporary music sector
• contribute to the development of markets for WA music locally, nationally and internationally
• ensure a strong representation of musicians and music professionals from Aboriginal, regional, cultural and gender diverse backgrounds
• accelerate the recovery of the WA contemporary music sector following the effects of COVID-19.

The CMF consists of invitation-only Targeted Initiatives and the Short Notice Activity Program (CMF SNAP).
