Eleven creative organisations across Queensland will share in more than $2 million under the second batch of grants from the Morrison Governmentâs $200 million Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund, which is designed to reactivate live performance venues and events.
Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said the latest RISE funding will begin to flow immediately to creative sector organisations throughout Queensland, to restart, re-imagine or create new cultural and creative activities.
âThe Arts and entertainment sector is fundamental to Queenslandâs identity, supporting cultural expression, community and social wellbeing, along with a significant boost to employment and economic benefits for the state,â Minister Fletcher said.
