Four ‘systemically significant’ Australian arts organisations – The Melbourne Art Foundation, the The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO), and the Museum of Contemporary Art – have been given over $9M in much needed funds to help with financial recovery due to the impacts of COVID-19.
In awarding these four organisations, the Federal Government recognises each as a leading arts organisation with good prospects of maintaining its viability into the future.
