Creative Industries - Connectivity

The new Creative Industries – Connectivity initiative will deliver grants (between $30,000 – $50,000) to support arts and cultural sector organisations, in collaboration with a creative industry business partner, to develop boundary-pushing projects and programs.

This new program aims to generate collaborative ventures across the arts, cultural and creative industries ecosystem, driving greater innovation, long-term sustainability and increased cultural exports.

The purpose of this funding is to:   

• Incentivise new collaborative opportunities between the traditional arts and cultural sector and creative industries. 
• Encourage innovative partnerships that have potential for ongoing sustainable outcomes. 
• Demonstrate possible future direction of arts and culture and creative industry partnerships. 
• Offer the potential to export more Australian stories to the world. 

Applications are invited until 17 March 2025 from not-for-profit small-to-medium arts and cultural organisations collaborating with a creative business to deliver an innovative idea. The broad range of partner creative industries businesses include broadcasting and digital media, design, architecture and fashion, built and physical heritage, arts education, food and beverage and technology sector.
