Creative Futures Fund 2026-2027

The fund invests in bold, new work across all art forms that tell Australian stories and strive for next level scale, ambition and impact.

The fund invests in projects across two streams:

Development: investments between $150,000 – $250,000

Delivery: investments between $250,000 – $1,500,000 

The aim of the Creative Futures Fund is to invest in the creation and sharing of Australian stories through exceptional creative projects across all artforms that can clearly demonstrate ambition, audience reach and impact.

Support through this Fund should enable projects to secure other significant partners and financial contributions from a range of sources.

The Fund invests in projects through two streams, Development investment and Delivery investment. Both streams must tell Australian stories, and utilise Intellectual Property that is majority Australian owned.
