Pilot Program Boosts Independent, Small Arts Sector

Creative Australia has announced the recipients of its new two-year pilot investment program supporting small to medium arts organisations through 2025 and 2026.

The initiative has been made possible thanks to additional investment from the Australian Government, and will provide a boost to organisations across theatre, dance, experimental arts, community arts and cultural development, and visual arts.

Creative Australia will use the pilot to explore a new investment model for organisations seeking stability beyond project-based support.

Executive Director Arts Investment Alice Nash said:

"We are excited to pilot a new investment model that provides the security of multi-year investment to a broader range of organisations. At a time when rising costs of production, skills and workforce shortages, and cost-of-living issues are impacting the sector, this critical investment will help to build the sustainability of our arts sector."

Recipients of two-year investment include:

  • Arena Theatre Company
  • Branch Nebula
  • CANWA
  • Crossroads
  • Experimenta
  • La Mama
  • Monkey Baa
  • National Theatre of Parramatta
  • Slingsby
  • Somebody's Daughter
