Arts Funders Peer Network (Q3 Meeting)

Join us at the third Arts Funders Peer Network meeting for 2025 we will hear from Creative Australia with an update on their new initiatives for 2025.

Jayne Lovelock and Gillian Mercer, Directors at Creative Australia, will outline these new initiatives supporting innovative approaches to encourage philanthropy and investment in support of creativity. In 2025 Creative Australia will introduce a new sector-wide nation-wide giving day, and a new impact investment fund for the Creative Industries. We will also hear about the Australian Cultural Fund and opportunities for philanthropy to directly support Australian artists.

The launch this year of both this national giving day and foundational support for impact investment marks a meaningful evolution in how Creative Australia encourages both public and private engagement in nurturing Australia’s creative economy.
