The Australian Government is investing a further $450,000 to support youth arts programs.
The funding is being provided to Creative Australia to support its delivery of programs that increase young people’s participation in the arts.
This will open up more opportunities for young people to realise their creative potential and discover new and exciting avenues for cultural expression.
The new National Cultural Policy, Revive, recognises the importance of empowering all Australians to tell their stories – including our young people.
Providing meaningful avenues for engagement and investment in youth arts amplifies the voices of young Australians and increases their ability to influence issues that matter to them.
