This funding program is designed to support established artists and acts to tour internationally.

Funding can support travel and accommodation costs for established artists and acts who identify a career-defining international touring opportunity.

Costs to support the artist and acts will be prioritised but costs relating to support roles will also be considered.

Funding supports travel and accommodation costs only, up to $30,000 in matched funding. Travel and accommodation costs can include flights, trains, buses, car hire, petrol, tolls, airport transfers, travel insurance, visas, per diems and accommodation. Applicants must match the funding request with their own cash contribution.

• support established NSW artists and acts to tour internationally
