ARTS, culture and hospitality industries in Victoria were some of the hardest hit by COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions earlier this year.<\/p>\n

With the aim of saving live music venues from all around the state, over 15,000 Australians signed the Save Our Scene petition<\/a> calling for specialised funding and support for the sector.<\/p>\n

In response, The Live Music Australia program was announced to support struggling venues and assist live music businesses to become operational once again.<\/p>\n

The initiative is a competitive grants opportunity, open to all small to medium sized venues that support quality and original Australian live music.<\/p>\n
