Applications have now opened for Creative Victoria's February 2021 funding round of their Music Works Grants. This program invests in the development and support of Victoria's contemporary music artists and music industries, providing support for projects and programs that will sustain, develop and grow Victoria's contemporary music sector, increase employment and build cultural and economic outcomes.

The program is open to new ideas, new modes of practice and new approaches to the delivery of contemporary music that will build on Victoria's position as a world-famous live music capital and Australia's contemporary music hub.

This program also features a strong regional/outer-metropolitan component (Stream 1 of the program) aimed at bringing Victorians back together and helping our music industry and its thousands of businesses and workers get back on their feet. Live music events through Stream 1 of the Music Works program will help reactivate and promote live music in regional and outer-metropolitan Melbourne.

Applications for the program are now open through the Creative Victoria Grants Portal. Round closes: 5pm, 15 February 2021.
