Australia Council for the Arts
The Australia Council for the Arts is the Australian Government’s principal arts funding and advisory body. The Council is the national advocate for the arts and its purpose is to champion and invest in Australian arts. This national leadership role is achieved by supporting and building Australia’s arts ecology by fostering excellence in the arts and increasing national and international engagement with Australian arts. The Council’s overarching outcome is to support Australian artists and arts organisations to create and present excellent art that is accessed by audiences across Australia and abroad.
Through our grants we fund a range of arts activities including the creation of new work, collaborations, touring, productions, exhibitions, performances, publishing, recording, promotion, market development and audience engagement.
We provide multi-year funding to arts organisations across Australia that create and present work and service the arts and artists.
Through targeted programs and strategic initiatives we support the arts sector and lead change to meet sector demand.
We advocate for the arts sector and deliver original research and analysis to inform policy and strengthen the arts sector
