Grants to help Goulburn Valley artists get back on the road

Greater Shepparton and Campaspe Shire are among the regions eligible to apply for grants.

Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp said Touring Victoria allowed local artists to expand their reach.

“We’re supporting our creative community to hit the road and reconnect with audiences across the state — delivering the cultural experiences that make Victoria our nation’s cultural heartland,” he said.

The past round of grants supported regional tours of Kutcha Edwards, circus comedy show Trash Test Dummies, The Australian Ballet, Finucane and Smith and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

Applications from First Nations creative organisations will be assessed through a First Nations-led process.

Applications close on July 14.
