APRA AMCOS has opened applications for its Art Music Fund.
The initiative, available to music creators, includes 11 grants of $5,000 each that are available to nine Australian and two New Zealand composers.

This new round of funding is the seventh of its kind, with the grants being given to artists who “create works with a long artistic and performance life”.
Applications are open now, and close at 5pm AEDT on February 16.

“This opportunity comes on the back of some really challenging times for our members,” Wright said, “and we look forward to hearing and experiencing new music from this great initiative.”
