First Nations Sound Recording Partnership Grants Open

Applications are open now for five First Nations artists or groups to create new sound recordings. The initiative is designed to provide an opportunity for First Nations artists to create sound recordings, and access advice and managerial support to grow their audience. There are five grants of $18,500 [ex GST] each available.

Applications close 3pm [AEST], Tuesday 20 October 2020

As part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Audience and Market Development activities, the final five successful applicants will be invited to apply for up to $10,000 towards promotion and marketing of the recording. Details will be provided to successful applicants.

This funding has been provided through the Australian Government’s Indigenous Contemporary Music Program aimed at increasing development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musicians and bands. It is one of five programs under the $30.9 million Australian Music Industry Package announced in the 2019-20 Commonwealth Budget.
