PPCA and Australia Council have today announced the latest round of recording grants which will go to a diverse range of local talent.
2020 recipients include local hip hop favourite Birdz and collective South West Syndicate, electro artist Angeline Armstrong, contemporary classical composer Jane Stanley and Alice Springs duo KnD.
“PPCA is delighted to continue this program in partnership with the Australia Council, and once again offer these grants to Australian creators," PPCA's Chair, George Ash, said.
"The program has delivered not only recordings that have enjoyed critical success, but covered a really diverse range of genres and styles.
"It is an initiative we are very proud of and we can’t wait to see what this year’s group of grant recipients create.”
Head of Music at the Australia Council, Kirsty Rivers, added, "Australians and people across the world love listening to Australian music.
"Our research shows 92% of Australians listen to recorded music. Music provides a soundtrack for our lives, bringing us joy, connection, solace and helping us through our days.
“We are once again delighted to be working again with the PPCA to fund the creation of new Australian recordings and welcome applications from artists across all genres and regions to apply.”
A new round of grants, open for five recipients worth $15,000, are open now and close on 13 April, 2021. Click here for more details.
