State/Federal
The Australia Council for the Arts is the Australian Government’s arts funding and advisory body.
On January 1 2015 Arts Victoria formally transitioned into Creative Victoria, a new State Government body dedicated to supporting, championing and growing the arts and creative industries.
Regional Arts Victoria is an independent, not-for-profit, membership-based organisation working in long-term partnerships with every level of government, fostering contemporary and innovative regional cultural practice across five decades. We advise and impact on decision-making across multiple portfolios and levels of government.
Regional Arts Victoria is the peak body for regional artists and arts organisations, and the leading organisation for regional creative practice in Victoria.
The Arts Industry Council of Victoria (AICV) is the State’s independent voice for the arts.
AICV was established as a non-profit peak body in 1989 to enable all sectors of arts activity in Victoria to speak with a common voice.
Our membership includes individual practitioners and arts organisations ranging from small independent companies to large state cultural institutions.
Australian Cultural Fund (ACF)
Since 2003, the ACF has provided artists and arts organisations with a dedicated funding platform to bring their projects to audiences around Australia and the world.
