Due to the strength of applications and overwhelming response from the creative community, we allocated additional funds – providing almost $2.5 million to local artists.
Applications are now closed and all funds have now been allocated.
These quick response grants build on our existing grants for creatives, and other support we are providing for artists and arts organisations during COVID-19 – such as mentoring through our Business Concierge Service and rent relief for eligible tenants in Council-owned buildings.

Creative Victoria, in partnership with Regional Arts Victoria and Arts Access Victoria, have recently announced the Sustaining Creative Workers initiative to support creatives whose work and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by coronavirus.
