‘Victoria is home to extraordinary First Peoples creatives – our investment ensures they have a platform from which to grow careers and strengthen businesses,’ said Minister for Creative Industries Steve Dimopoulos MP, announcing the results of the state’s latest arts funding rounds.
The outcomes of three separate funding streams – the Creative Ventures Fund, the Creative Projects Fund and Creative Neighbourhood Infrastructure Support – have collectively invested $6.7 million in projects, artists and spaces across the state, including almost $2 million to First Peoples creatives, businesses and projects.
