The Federal Government has announced a 250-million dollar recovery package for the ailing arts industry.


Highlights

  • The JobMaker funding plan will see a 250 million dollar funding boost for the arts sector.
  • The package includes 75 million dollars in grants for new events including festivals, concerts and tours.
  • It also includes 90 million dollars in concessional loans, 50-million dollars to help film and television production and a further 35-million dollars in direct assistance for organisations such as theatres and dance groups.
