Funds to back creatives

(Kasturi Roy/Unsplah)

Werribee’s creative professionals with big ideas to transform their practice and build their skills and careers are invited to apply for the latest round of the state government’s creative program, the Creators

Fund.

The fund supports creative professionals to undertake the kind of intensive research, development or experimentation that leads to career defining, groundbreaking creative work.

Werribee MP Tim Pallas encourages artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, writers and other creative professionals from across Werribee to apply for the grant.

“In any industry, innovation requires dedicated time for research, experimentation and development,” Mr Pallas said.

“Devoting time to this unpaid but vital work can be a challenge for many Werribee independent creatives.

“The Creators Fund is an important pillar of the Victorian government’s investment in the creative industries, backing our creative innovators to break new ground and level up their careers.”

Applications are open to Victorian individuals and collectives working in any creative field including digital games, literature, craft, theatre, music, screen, dance, visual art, fashion and design.

Grants of between $20,000 and $50,000 are available to support activities for up to six months.

Applications for the Creators Fund close at 3pm on Wednesday, February 22.
