The Allan Labor Government is backing local musicians, venues and festivals and keeping jobs and the economy pumping in the live music capital of Australia.
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant today announced the local venues and festivals that will benefit from a 50,000 to help put on new or existing events, including Queenscliff Music Festival.
In addition, more artists will have opportunities to develop their careers through Multicultural Arts Victoria's NEWPRINT program, which is designed to support artists, producers and creative workers from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to break into the music industry and take their careers to the next level.
Live music plays a crucial role in Victoria's creative sector, while driving jobs and the economy. This latest package will support not only the musicians on stage, but the crews behind them, as well as venue owners, hospitality staff and local businesses.
The grants are part of a 41 billion creative economy."
