Make It New consultations continue

15 May 2007

The Australia Council for the Arts is seeking more comment on theatre funding with the release of a new Make It New? discussion paper.

The Australia Council’s Theatre Board held extensive consultations across the country in mid-2006 on ways to best support the sector, sparked by the discussion paper Make It New?

A second paper has been produced, containing detail around potential changes to the Theatre Board’s funding programs for 2008. There are proposed changes to only three funding categories – New Work, Program and Key Organisations – Triennial grants.

We welcome your comments on this paper and ways that you think the Australia Council can best support the theatre sector.

Submissions close 15 July.
