What it is

A 14-week program supporting creative and cultural organisations to strengthen their business foundations, build long-term sustainability, and explore impact investment as a potential source of capital.

Who it is for

Creative and cultural organisations based in Australia working in design, environmental heritage, libraries, literature, museums, music, performing arts, visual arts, crafts, fashion, and related creative industries.

Open to artists in Australia.
