MusicNSW, with the assistance of Arts NSW, announces the opening of their Regional Touring Grant Program. Grants of up to $5000 are available to NSW Musicians to help fund the regional NSW component of their tours.
The MusicNSW Regional Touring Grants aim to relieve the financial burden to NSW musicians of touring to the more remote areas of the state.
A MusicNSW Regional Touring Grant cant help fund the costs of hitting roos, losing band members or getting lost on some back-road “short-cut”. What it can do is help cover normal touring costs, like accommodation, airfares, vehicle and equipment hire and promotional costs, so you have more room to move when you come up against the things you cant plan for.
Applications close Friday 14 July and are open to all contemporary musicians who are permanent residents of NSW. Tours can happen any time August-September 2006. Only 5 grants are available and applications will be competitive.
