LOCAL venues can apply for a funding boost to support the growth of the live music sector. $1.6 million is now available to support venues to grow and enhance the sustainability of their business as well as providing a stage for local musicians to develop their talents.
The Growing Gigs Fund and the Live Music Venue Business Grants, will help venues to diversify and develop a new range of opportunities for their business ventures, offset operational costs, and amplify the growth of the live music industry for local musicians and artists.
Small music venues can apply for Growing Gigs Fund grants of up to $10,000 to support performance fees for Queensland contemporary music artists connecting audiences with local and live music.
The venues can also access up to $25,000 to invest in business improvement initiatives with the aim of developing stronger businesses for the future.
