The Australia Council supports Australian music-making through the Music Board, Major Performing Arts Board, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Board, Community Partnerships and Market Development sections. In 2010 –11, we invested $12.3 million in Australian music-making (excluding orchestras and opera), of which $5.7 million was distributed via the Music Board. This support took the form of grants to individual artists and groups, financial and operational support to music organisations, market and audience development initiatives and strategic initiatives to build capacity across the sector.
Further information about the Music Board’s priorities can be found in its sector plan, published in the Artforms section of our website.
Our Market Development section also offers grants and initiatives that benefit music artists, producers and organisations including:
– Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM)
– Australian World Music Expo
– Live On Stage: International Market Program for Music Managers and Artists
– Major Festivals Initiative
– Sounds Australia.
For more information on these programs please see the Market Development section.
