In a major boost to the arts, 12 live music venues across the city are set to benefit from the State Government’s new See It LIVE Music Activation Fund. These venues will receive financial support to cover various costs associated with hosting live music events.
Supporting Venues and Enhancing Sustainability
The recipients of the See It LIVE grants will enjoy more than just financial assistance. In a strategic move to support long-term sustainability in the sector, the Music Development Office and the Office for Small and Family Business have joined forces to provide comprehensive business support services including access to a tailored workshop focusing on business fundamentals specifically designed for live music venues, one-on-one consultations to assess individual business needs, and opportunities to secure business mentors.
