Support continues for the Indigenous Contemporary Music industry
Eight organisations have been granted a total of $604,000 in the second year of funding under the Australian Government's $2 million Indigenous Contemporary Music Program.
The program aims to increase the exposure of Indigenous musicians and provide key development opportunities.
The second round of the program will support a range of opportunities and activities, including:
Industry-based professional development and mentoring activities run by organisations based in WA, NT, SA and NSW
Support for Tasmanian musicians who face income and employment barriers
A showcase of emerging talent at the 2021 Cairns Indigenous Art Fair
An Aunties music program, recording Indigenous women over the age of 50
Support for the National Indigenous Music Awards to transition towards self-determination
The program is providing $500,000 annually over four years, as part of the Government's Australian Music Industry Package announced in the 2019-20 Budget.
