Almost 70 live performances will hit the stage across 18 venues during the next two months thanks to the City of Newcastle’s Locally Made and Played grants.
Venues were invited to apply for up to $1500 to host the live performances, with the funds used to support individual performers and artists at $300 per performance.
Councillor Carol Duncan told Newcastle in the Morning that the funding will not only provide a boost to local venues financially hit as a result of COVID-19 but will also help support our home-grown talent right here in Newcastle.
