Touring Victoria supports Victorian arts and cultural organisations or professional creative practitioners to tour a professional production, performance, exhibition or program to, or from, regional and outer-metropolitan Victoria
We’ve updated the program in response to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the ability of Victorian arts and cultural organisations and creative practitioners to travel around the State during the period. If you have previously received funding through this program and your project was impacted by COVID-19, please contact us.
This round of Touring Victoria is supported through the Victorian Government’s Community Support Fund.
What funding is available?
Amounts between $10,000 and $250,000 are available.
If you plan to apply for more than $50,000, please discuss your touring proposal with Creative Victoria program staff before submitting your application.

Please don’t make commitments based on the assumption that you’ll receive funding until you’ve received written confirmation of your final funding outcome.
Funding recommendations are subject to approval by the Minister for Creative Industries. Feedback on your application is provided at Creative Victoria’s discretion and may not be available when you receive notification of your funding outcome.
