The Young People: First Nations Arts & Culture Project Fund is open to Australian First Nations artists or arts workers between the ages of 18 and 35 to support creative practice and career development, nationally and internationally across all art forms.
This opportunity aims to build the capacity of First Nations young people’s skills development, career pathways, marketing, and audience development to maintain and elevate their practice and engagement in the arts and cultural sectors and creative industries.
This new initiative is part of Creative Australia’s First Nations First industry development programs. The programs have been developed in response to extensive community consultation on priorities and needs of the sector in response to Pillar1, First Nations First – Revive, the Australian Government’s shared vision for Australia: a place for every story and a story for every place. These new initiatives aim to elevate existing programs and deliver new funding that build on a 50-year legacy of First Nations leadership and investment at Creative Australia.
Grants are available from $10,000 to $20,000.
The Young People: First Nations Arts & Culture Projects can commence from February 2025 and must be completed 12 months from the proposed start date.
