QMusic delivered $3,000 grants, via Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, to musicians and music industry workers as part of the stART program. This investment assisted the Queensland music community through one-off payments for musicians to continue their artistic practices following the devastating effects of the COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions.
Individual applicants accessed up to $3,000 to support ideation, preparation, planning and collaboration activities focussed on future creative opportunities during the COVID recovery phase. Applications were assessed on how COVID-19 restrictions impacted the applicants' creative practice, prior artistic activity in the arts and culture community and how the stART grant would be applied to future outcomes.
Applications are now closed. See the list of recipients below.
