Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠The COVID-19 Arts Sustainability Fund aims to provide ‘last resort’ funding assistance to significant Australian Government?funded arts organisations that are assessed to be at imminent risk of insolvency as a direct result of COVID-19, having taken all reasonable action to maintain their financial position.

The program is intended to assist by providing the necessary finance to plan a pathway for recovery from the effects of COVID?19. This will support employment of workers (including in interdependent industries such as hospitality, retail, accommodation, transport and freight) and contribute to rebuilding Australia’s economy, as well as enhancing community wellbeing and access to cultural experiences across Australia.

The intended outcomes of the program are:

• significant Commonwealth-funded performing arts and culture organisations remain solvent; and

• Australian communities continue to benefit from the work of significant Commonwealth-funded organisations as the key employers of Australian artists and art workers, leading presenters of high-quality work and as the trainers of Australia’s upcoming performing artists.
