South Australia Business Grants & Funding Programs

The South Australian Government's Live Music Events Fund supports live music events and festivals with the potential to grow into major tourist attractions. The fund aims to elevate Adelaide's recognition as a UNESCO City of Music, mitigate financial barriers for promoters in the first two years of staging new events, and attract unique music events that generate economic benefit and local jobs.

The Arts Organisations Program provides funding to small-to-medium arts organisations that contribute to a sustainable and thriving arts and cultural sector in South Australia. Funding enables organisations to deliver arts experiences, commission new work, create jobs for artists and creatives, and build national and international profile.
