July 11th, 2024Applications open for Touring Vic live arts funding

The state government says it’s ensuring more world-class performances and creative events will be presented across regional Victoria, with applications now open for the latest round of the Touring Victoria program.

In recent days the Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas invited applications for the program, which
provides grants of between $10,000 and $150,000 for artists and creative organisations to take their productions, performances and exhibitions to regional and outer-metropolitan Victoria.

As well as providing Victorians with access to diverse arts and cultural experiences at their doorstep, the program backs Victorian artists and creative companies to build their profile and audience base across the state while providing an economic boost to the placesthey tour.

Last year, Touring Victoria grants supported six companies to tour more than 20 destinations throughout the state.

The 2024 round of the Touring Victoria program will support artists and shows to hit the road from 1 December 2024. Applications are now open and close on 1 August 2024.

Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas: “Through Touring Victoria we are making sure that the best live theatre, music and cultural events can hit the road, and entertain and inspire locals here in Macedon- and across the state.”

“I encourage local artists and creative companies to apply for grants to take their work to communities across the state and look forward to more great creative events and experiences touring locally in the years ahead.
