The Helpmann Academy has awarded eleven emerging creatives from a wide range of disciplines with up to $500 each through our Creative Boost Grants.
The Creative Boost Grants provide a quick infusion of cash, enabling artists to fund essential services, procure materials, or cover immediate expenses.
Diverse talents from disciplines including film, music, photography, visual arts, and music theatre have been awarded grants to fuel a wide spectrum of projects. From professional development and international residencies to recordings, new product development, equipment purchases, and project documentation, these grants have been pivotal in enabling artists to pursue their creative visions.
We are thrilled to support emerging artists in practical ways and be the catalyst that brings a project to life.
Congratulations to all the recipients!
The Creative Boost Grants are made possible through the generosity of John Phillips.
