First Nations musicians, writers and fashion designers are among those supported through Creative Australia's latest suite of investment programs.
The latest investment outcomes include:
Flourish III
Creative Australia is investing close to $500k through Flourish, a First Nations textile design and fashion innovation fund.
Corina Muir is one of 11 designers supported as part of the Flourish Fund. The Yorta Yorta and Boonwurrung woman, and founder ethical clothing label Amber Days, said:
"Running a small business can be really hard at times especially in the current climate. Being awarded the Flourish Grant has injected Amber Days with a new energy and excitement to continue on with the work."
Elevate III
Creative Australia will invest almost $60k in First Nations Literature through Elevate, a career development grant opportunity for First Nations individuals and groups. Lisa Fuller, a Wuilli Wuilli woman from Queensland, also descended from Wakka Wakka and Gooreng Gooreng peoples, is among six recipients.
Lisa is an award-winning writer, sessional academic and freelance writer/editor, and said the grant would support her to be mentored on the business of being a literary agent.
