About the Live Performance Venue Program
The Live Performance Venue Program aims to increase the number of fit-for-purpose live performance venues across NSW.
The program seeks to:
- connect existing hospitality venues with subject-matter experts
- facilitate connections between venues, artists, agents and other live performance industry affiliates
- increase industry capacity to diversify existing hospitality venues to offer live performance
- increase sector knowledge and expertise
- provide funding for live performance equipment purchase and install, and start-up programming and marketing costs
The Program has two components:

Applications closed on Monday 4 November 2024.
