Funding is available from $5,000 to $30,000. The Program accepts applications from: Individual professional artists (emerging and more established) living and working in Victoria with a minimum of three years of professional practice, excluding academic training.(Applicants undertaking post-graduate study must demonstrate that the proposed work will not be used for the purposes of academic assessment). Professional arts ensembles and organisations based in Victoria. Organisations in receipt of Arts Victoria recurrent funding are not eligible to apply to this program.
